Part 1:

The preparation

For the first week and a half of the experience, the athletes will prepare in South Florida at our headquarters gym, DETAIL Miami. During this time, athletes will partake in an extensive but unique and carefully planned training regimen while also practicing as a team, bonding, and exploring a new city together.

Athletes stay in our academy house with the other athletes and one of our coaches in the Miami Lakes area - one of the safest and nicest neighborhoods in South Florida. Keep in mind that, although our staff will be there for you if you need anything and we provide all food and transportation, we also emphasize independence, as athletes are expected to clean up after themselves, do their own laundry, wake up on time, budget finances with their dinner card, and build bonds with the other athletes from other cultures! They're not alone here, though, as our staff is trained and experienced in helping them make a big step in their life. This is something that has helped develop hundreds of athletes as independent young men over the last four years, and that parents rave about after their athlete returns home!
