Prepare Mentally
ISAA implements a mindfulness curriculum, a course in which students focus on the mental side of their overall performance, which includes academics, athletics, mental health, and more. This curriculum includes meditation and yoga amongst others.

Our founding
Ethan Hunt Founder, CEO
Masters in Sport Management, Autonomous University of Barcelona & the Johan Cruyff Institute
Ethan Hunt founded ISAA after recognizing that American student-athletes were often forced to choose between academic excellence and elite soccer development. Drawing inspiration from successful European academy models and supported by a master’s thesis on the concept, he launched ISAA to combine high-level academics with professional soccer opportunities under one roof.
"America is in desperate need of a soccer academy that develops young women and men academically, athletically, mentally, and emotionally. Meanwhile, soccer academies around the world are in need of the resources and investment that America has to offer. So I decided, 'Why not combine the most popular sport in the world with the American Dream?'"
