The Julie Foudy & espnW Sports Leadership Academy
Two rules: Laughter permitted. Eat more donuts (we can explain that last one).
The Julie Foudy & espnW Sports Leadership Academy joins the power of the espnW and ESPN brands with Julie Foudy’s 15 years of leadership training expertise to create a one-of-a-kind gathering for young athletes focusing on two overlapping components: sports and leadership.
The aim of JFSLA is to expose student-athletes to Julie’s great passion: the concept of not just being a LEADER IN YOUR SPORT but a LEADER IN LIFE.
The Academy provides a chance to learn from the very best on the field, while exploring how to be a leader, finding your voice, and discovering your strengths and passions off the field.
We aim to build tomorrow’s amazing leaders as we have loads of fun, including all of the bad dancing and singing that we’ve come to associate with Julie Foudy.
