Honest Game Supports Your Student-Athlete To Maximize College Opportunities

"Academic Eligibility Is The Doorway To Athletic Success At The College Level."

What many don't realize is that academic excellence can open doors that athletic ability alone cannot. Making the investment before one's college search to be in good academic standing (and working hard to maintain that) is a process many overlook until it is too late. The reality is that academic success widens the pathway forward for an athlete or, if neglected, can narrow or eliminate those options altogether.
