    Parent Testimonial

    "The formula to becoming the best athlete you can be is not a simple equation but a lengthy process that involves a dedicated team of professionals."

    My son came to the IMG Performance Institute in the midst of a growth spurt that yielded 8 + inches in under a year. IPI trainers worked together to keep him moving forward - increasing his endurance, making him stronger, more agile and so much faster. These results have given my son the confidence to handle any situation on and off the court."

    Scientific research suggests that it takes eight to twelve years of training for an athlete to reach elite levels. Unfortunately, too many coaches approach training with an attitude best characterized as the "win early and win often."  At the IMG Performance Institute we believe success comes from improving The Total Athlete and incorporate a 360 degree periodization approach to training to improve athletic, character, and career development.

    IMG Pendleton School

    With experienced teachers, challenging classes, creative coursework, low student-to-teacher ratios and an encouraging learning environment all in the heart of the IMG Academies' campus, IMG Pendleton offers the ultimate in preparation for college. By offering extra evening sessions with teachers, Web-based courses in addition to the "typical" classroom setting, "My Backpack" online program to increase communication between students, parents, teachers and staff, IMG Pendleton fully integrates with the athletic schedule to strike a perfect balance of school and sports.
