The Motiv8 Academy gives teenagers from all sporting backgrounds the tools required to assist them in their development in both sport and in life.
In an atmosphere of fun, positivity and encouragement young athletes will experience a 3 day programme of structured sessions, not sport specific
but designed to develop vital skills and attributes essential for success in sport and life.
The Motiv8 Academy offers comprehensive personal development, fostering long term positive change in young sports people across multiple disciplines.
Whether the young sports person is striving for world class preparation as an athlete or a well rounded leadership experience the Motiv8 programme
provides the critical tools to help achieve those goals.
With the focus on character development, athletic development and fun as the keys to unlocking the young athlete's potential, the Motiv8 Academy
revolutionises the sports camp experience for teenagers.
The Motiv8 Academy coaches recognise that natural talent often fails to fulfil its potential due to the distractions and negative influences associated
with modern living. We therefore seek to instil a carefully selected set of skills, values, strategies and lifestyle choices which will assist the
development of individual talent.

"The Motiv8 Academy had a phenomenal impact on me. It gave me the confidence to achieve my goals. Instead of thinking of my ultimate goal as something in the far distance, I was taught how to go about achieving it. I now truly believe I can achieve my goal. A year on, the Motiv8 Academy’s lessons still prevail and they’ve played a massive part in my recent achievements.” Derbhala Murphy
