Letter from Julie:  Read Julie's Bio  We are ecstatic to be heading into our 3rd summer with the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy. Thank you again to all our students who made 2007 such a wonderful summer. We expanded to three sites in the summer of 2007, and will stay with those same three sites for the summer of 2008 as well. We have also added a Coaches component for those coaches who are interested in incorporating strategies and techniques leading to improved self concept, team building and leadership qualities in their players.

Our dates for the summer of 2008 are:
|
| June 22-27, 2008: Peddie School in Hightstown, NJ |
| July 13-18, 2008: McDonald’s Headquarters in Chicago, IL |
| July 27- Aug 1, 2008: St Mary’s College in Northern California |
For those of you not familiar with the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy (the “JFSLA”), we built a curriculum that incorporates two of my passions: sports and leadership. Our focus at the JFSLA is to teach our students the ingredients it takes to be a leader on the field AND a leader in life. Our studen ts get the best of both worlds: they learn soccer from some of the best women's players in the world, AND they are exposed to a multitude of leadership concepts they can cultivate for life.
For returning students to the JFSLA, we incorporate a mentoring program that helps these students put their leadership skills to use. Also, photos from all three sites of the 2007 Julie Foudy Leadership Academy are up so please go check them out! Click here for 2007 photos New Jersey, Chicago and N. California.
For more detail on the philosophy and curriculum behind the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership academy, please go to Academy Philosophy and Academy Curriculum.
By providing our students with a high-energy, six-day/five-night residential Academy experience, our mission is to help inspire the leaders of tomorrow. We truly believe that young adults, once given the skill set and confidence to lead, will make great choices in life. You do not need a gold medal around your neck or a captain’s arm band to lead. Leadership is personal, not positional. We can all make a positive difference in this world. The choice is yours, so as we say at the Academy, CHOOSE TO MATTER!
Come spend a week training with the best soccer players in the women’s game! Come spend a week developing the leader in YOU! We promise you an experience you'll never forget... and you can bet that through it all, we're going to have a blast. As I learned while playing for the Women’s National Team… LOVE what you do! Laughter permitted.
Hope to see you this summer!
Sincerely,
Julie Foudy
