WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.500 our 00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:05.000 Sports Academy is the only 1 of its kind 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.500 in high desert 00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.000 we have a sports academy here 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.500 at Riverside prep that helps prepare athletes to become 00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.000 stronger faster and more resilient to injury 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.500 there's some programs in the high desert but not as robust 00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.000 as what we have to offer I don't believe that there's a facility 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.500 up here that would allow the same amount 00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.000 of training the actual equipment with the 2 million 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.500 dollar facility that we vested in here you have an 00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.000 educated trainer helping them to become 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500 stronger helping them in their weak areas if they 00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000 have any questions guiding them watching them supporting 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.500 them and helping them grow when they come 00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.000 in they get tested on their agility on their strength they get 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.500 monitored on their growth we have kids that are 00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.000 going to D1 schools next year because we have fantastic 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500 the coaches you have seen the growth of these athletes not 00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000 only on a physical basis but also 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500 on an academic 1 as well from the principal all 00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000 the way until the superintendent they're engaged in the 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500 school we offer an intimate education because we're 00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000 a smaller School statistics show across the board 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.500 in a smaller School setting students are more successful 00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000 not only academically but emotionally parents 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500 have great relationships with teachers they get to know 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000 families our administrators our 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500 staff our teachers and all faculty hold 00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000 our students to a much higher standard and we want 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500 with the best for our students my teachers have been like 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000 a lot of dedication to help me with my grades and stuff and 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500 helped me succeed in baseball and the teachers here they'll 00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000 always make sure you're on top of your grades my teachers always 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500 make sure I'm on task and always make sure that I 00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000 have my grades up the training programs here at 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500 Riverside prep are going to be different from other high schools because they 00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000 are integrated into the school day college campuses 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500 today the way that they operate we are set up in 00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.000 these same exact way you get up in the morning you have to go to your 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.500 morning workouts which you usually lasts 2 to 3 hours and then 00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.000 you go to school then you attend your classes then after you attend 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.500 classes and you go back out to your specialty programs we're 00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.000 ahead of the game when it comes to that so when College recruiters 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.500 come in and they want to have discussions 00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.000 about our student athletes we can actually provide 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500 them with real data by the time you're in 00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000 college by the time you're in a college weight room it will not be 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.500 to you it'll be completely familiar to you something that you can 00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.000 continue to build on unique opportunities that I've 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.500 had here that I wouldn't get elsewhere is definitely 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.500 there's an expectation is very 00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.000 high of our student athletes we expect them to 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.500 to come prepared each and every day to give their 00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:20.000 full effort that effort is the only thing they need to 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.500 worry about here at Riverside prep all the guidance comes from the coaching 00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.000 and the coaching staff that we have here my coaches 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.500 they really pushed me a lot cuz they like 00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.000 have standards their standards are really high for me the code 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.500 have definitely helped me a lot they make 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.000 sure you're working hard as much as you can push yourself 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.500 100% they push you a lot here they'll 00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:40.000 help you if you're doing something wrong and they'll definitely like congratulate 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.500 you when you need to be I think we just put them 00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:45.000 in uncomfortable situations and make practice hard 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.500 make game situations feel really intense that when 00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:50.000 those kids leave they've already been in environments that 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.500 way that they're able to deal with the rigors of 00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.000 what college sports it requires I think they 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.500 really meet that triangle of academics Athletics 00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:00.000 CTE programs we really want 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.500 student athletes that are serious about Athletics 00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:05.000 and their academics because they both 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.500 go hand in hand colleges want an athlete 00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.000 that is able to prove that they can work out and we can show that 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.500 in the sports academy that they are a good academic student 00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:15.000 we can show that in the sports academy 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.500 Riverside prep has several different options to ensure 00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.000 that students are prepared for athletics 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.500 and or academics and I feel 100% 00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.000 safe with my child at this school I'm not afraid to 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.500 drop them off and pick them up this 00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:30.000 day after school I know that he's being taken care of 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.500 and met all the administration and staff they take care of their 00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.000 students and make sure that they're safe your students are coming to 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.500 school they're here they're safe they're in a safe environment all 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:40.000 of our campuses are highly secure and our 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.500 students even report that they feel safe and 00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.000 they feel like there is someone on campus that they can 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.500 talk to they feel safe with our adults they feel 00:03:47.500 -->

their full potential and they're 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.500 ready for that college level you're going to be mentally tough you're 00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.000 going to be prepared to not just be a good athlete but 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.500 got a good overall person for any parent that's thinking about why 00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:05.000 should we send our student there you should just ask 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.500 yourself the simple question why you shouldn't send them 00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:10.000 here they should come to Riverside Preparatory
