“Will’s two years in France has been transformational. His maturity, independence and confidence are wonderful to see. I’m so impressed with the coaching and teaching staff who are helping him reach his highest potential on and off the field. His friends are like brothers and every day is a cultural education. The Academy is serious and professionally run so there are challenges, but he is supported every step of the way. It’s an incredible opportunity and I could not recommend it more.”
