Sport has long been an integral part of modern society. Every year, millions of people begin to admire its various types, and many of them even devote all their energies to it. 

Young people, who are the main category interested in sports, are continually looking for new development ways and use every opportunity to build a professional career. Of course, this does not apply to everyone. Someone may have an uncontrollable desire to become an athlete but does not dare to do so for some reason. Most often, these reasons are self-doubt or inability to play your favorite sport. Despite all this, it is essential to remember one main rule - everyone once started from zero. It is unlikely that a person can be born with the natural ability to play a particular sport. Any sport is based on 2 basic rules: hard work and self-belief.  

One of the best basketball players of today, three-time NBA champion and thirteen-time NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade, is well aware of the importance of these rules. He, like many other young men, dreamed of becoming a basketball player since childhood. Fortunately, he was lucky because he could get into the school team due to his hard training, which started his professional career. Now, Dwyane Wade, like many other enthusiasts and athletes, wants to help today's youth achieve their goals. To do this, the Celebrity Sports Academy was created, which aims to prepare young people for a professional sports career, both physically and psychologically.  

Courses held at Celebrity Sports Academy are divided into several categories and stages. It is also worth noting that there are two training options, namely to be present at Celebrity Sports Academy for two days surrounded by professional coaches, psychologists, and celebrities, or a more comfortable option, namely online lessons. Let's focus on online lessons. Of course, people will immediately have the question: Is it possible to conduct sports online?. This is the main mistake of most people because Celebrity Sports Academy is not just physical activity. Courses are divided into logical categories that allow you to do any direction at any time. The main sports present at Celebrity Sports Academy are Basketball, Football, and Soccer. Also, there are Cheerleaders training.  

Celebrity Sports Academy's most significant focus is on the harmonious combination of physical training and psychological training. Unfortunately, many modern coaches miss such an important factor as psychological preparation, which is why young athletes eventually lose faith in themselves, or vice versa, become overconfident and not coachable. A proper mental mindset is one of the keys to the athlete’s further success, and fortunately, Celebrity Sports Academy pays a lot of attention to it. 

Of course, it is impossible to become an athlete without constant and practical training. Celebrity Sports Academy has brought together professional coaches who have allowed beginners and professional athletes to reach their peak and always reach a new level for many years. We will soon look at each of these workouts in more detail. 

Numerous interviews with celebrities from various industries, such as music, cooking, business, and of course sports, will also be a pleasant surprise for many. It may not be clear to someone why they are needed, but the answer is actually very simple. As already mentioned, Celebrity Sports Academy aims not only to train a person in one direction but also to help build self-confidence. Many of the invited celebrities share their secrets of success, attitude to people, mental mindset, and much more. In essence, Celebrity Sports Academy tries to build in each participant a personality that in the future will be able to realize itself, even if his profession is not related to sports.  

Now let's look in more detail at the main categories of training: 

Basketball Training Lessons 

In these lessons, you will be able to master all the necessary concepts for playing basketball, learn and practice in the right hands with and without the ball, increase your endurance, practice the right throws in the hoop, correctly pass and accept passes from allies, improve their movements and much more. Of course, ideally, this training should be conducted in the gym or on the street, but those classes that are on video can be easily carried out just with the ball. Even without the ball, you will be able to practice your movements and understand the game’s general principles.  

Like most other lessons, Basketball Training Lessons start with the simplest level (beginner) and gradually increase their difficulty level. If you are a beginner, the best option is to start with the first lesson. Suppose you are already familiar with basketball and know most of these exercises. In that case, you can safely skip to later lessons for more complex workouts that will be useful even to professionals.  

Agility Training Lessons 

As the name implies, these training are aimed at improving speed and endurance. Unlike Basketball Training Lessons, although these classes are mostly conducted according to the basketball scheme (exercises with a ball and a hoop), the vast majority of these exercises can be performed without it. The first lessons can be performed even by beginners, but each subsequent lesson will be noticeably more complicated and will require much more endurance. The most difficult, of course, will be the last exercises, namely Pro Level. Exercises at this level require not only endurance and speed but also coordination, control of your own body and breathing, reaction, and proper performance techniques that you will learn throughout the course.  

Mental Mindset 

This is one of the most underestimated and important categories, which unfortunately is usually given little attention in training young people. Every professional athlete knows how important it is to keep yourself in physical shape and the right psychological mindset. A destructive mindset can lead to a much worse physical condition, which will definitely affect your training or game. Unlike other courses, Mental Mindset is not divided into levels, but rather each lesson addresses a specific topic that will be useful to understand not only athletes but absolutely anyone. It is also interesting to note that these lessons provide examples of real-life people who will undoubtedly serve as role models for what people should be when it comes to approaching life. As in other categories, you will have as many as four videos on this topic for one course, which will help you develop the right mindset to become much more confident.  

Lifestyle Lessons (Interview) 

This category contains all interviews explicitly conducted for Celebrity Sports Academy. The guests’ list includes such celebrities as professional chef and nutritionist Richard Ingraham, basketball player Collin Sexton, basketball player Cheyenne Parker, photographer and director Bobby Metelus, basketball player CJ McCollum, Dwyane Wade himself, and many others. Each of them shares their main tips for becoming successful and eventually achieving their goal. These interviews are an excellent addition to a required course, but you can often hear a lot of really important advice in it. Meaningful discussions encountered in these interviews are the importance of higher education, the pursuit of a goal and appropriate action, the right environment, and more.  

Other 

Of course, this is not an official category, but here you can easily include videos that fall into several categories at once or do not fall into any of them. Such videos may consist of sports drills, life skills, cheerleading drills, tricks, etc.  

As you can see, Celebrity Sports Academy, in a short time, and despite the distance, provides anyone with a set of workouts that allow you to improve yourself physically and psychologically. The modern combination of sports training and information technology allows you to train athletes anywhere in the world at any time. This experience is significantly enhanced by VR technology, which allows you to not just watch videos on the screen but feel like a full-fledged participant in training. Thanks to the partnership between CEEK and Celebrity Sports Academy, despite the difficult situation in the world that forces people to stay at home, everyone has a chance to become a full member of the sports academy.
