What the Nation's Best Coaches, Athletes, and ADs Say...

“Jeff Janssen’s work with our student-athletes through the Michigan Leadership Academy has been tremendous. His ability to communicate with our student-athletes, along with his ability to draw student-athletes into deeper discussions about leadership is outstanding.”

JOHN BEILEIN, Legendary Michigan Men's Basketball Coach

“Not only did I grow up as an athlete but also as a person through Jeff Janssen’s Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy taught each participant how to better handle difficult situations and how to effectively communicate with teammates. I cannot describe how thankful I am for my experience with the Carolina Leadership Academy.”

KARA CANNIZZARO, UNC Lacrosse, National Women's Lacrosse Player of the Year, National Champion

“I’ve been in the business 30 years and there are a lot of different programs I’ve seen. What the Jeff Janssen does is the best out there. It builds on itself. You will see a change in student-athletes in terms of leadership, and all that comes together on the field, in the classroom and everywhere else.”
