Excellence Academy
The Indiana University Excellence Academy is the most innovative and comprehensive personal development program in all of intercollegiate athletics. We focus on the holistic development of the entire person to develop healthy students with a toolbox of skills and resources to provide an exceptional college experience, including athletics, that will prepare them for an outstanding life experience, after athletics. The Excellence Academy complements our world-class academic support and athletic performance services to provide comprehensive personal development programs in six major areas to help prepare young men and women for great lives and success both in and after college: physical and mental wellness; nutrition services; elite-athlete development; leadership and life skills; service learning; and career development. Through intentional and integrated core programs, as well as elective opportunities, the Excellence Academy enables our students to: be well in mind, body, and spirit; reach their highest potential and become champions; be unselfish leaders and teammates; learn to serve, lead and follow; integrate with the broader university community and become a part of something bigger than themselves; and grow into confident young men and women prepared to face the world and start their careers. The vision of the Excellence Academy is based on the belief that a wholly developed person will be more successful both in sport and in life.
