About the Academy

The Canadian Elite Academy, founded in March 2017, was designed to fill the holes in traditional coaching and teaching of sports, academics, and the arts. The advantage is the time dedicated to individual skills instruction by the best available coaches or instructors. The skilled coaches attempt to achieve the goal of offering individual sessions in the instructional methods, which allow participants of all skill levels to train in the same group. The sessions are not team building or competition focus, allowing a mixture of talents and gender participants to dedicate time to a single element or skill, enabling them to apply it to a future team, competition, test, or challenge. The gender and age tiering system in traditional sports and schooling in most academy sessions does not apply. Not comparing oneself to other athletes in groups with the opposite gender, older athletes, and physically taller and stronger athletes is a challenging concept for young participants. Each athlete responds to this differently. Some athletes have problems accepting this lack of gender and age tiering, which is found in traditional game competitions. Many react with a lack of focus and drive to get better when they do not have games to measure their success. The essential lesson learned is that you must compete against a single person. Your goal should be to be better tomorrow than you are today. The academy coaches can see the growth, but young athletes must learn to compete against themselves and not others. This lesson will make them less stressed and more willing to make the necessary effort to improve themselves.
