Student-Athlete Development & Family Education Program

Leading Youth Forward

Repair. Rebuild. Succeed.

A clear plan for student-athletes, parents, and families—in sports, school, and life.

LYF Academy is a year-long development and education program for student-athletes, parents, and families. It brings academic planning, athletic development, recruiting education, and personal growth together through structure, guidance, and accountability.

Our focus is the total development of the person—and the family supporting them. Families gain a clearer understanding of the process, a plan for what comes next, and support for putting that plan into action.

Repair: identify gaps in preparation and replace confusion with understanding.
Rebuild: strengthen the plan, habits, skills, and family knowledge needed to move forward.
Succeed: recognize progress in school, sport, leadership, and preparation for life beyond the game.

LYF Academy belongs to Our Vision Sports Education Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, and is operated by TYGTAL—Take Your Game To Another Level. Our mission serves a national community of student-athletes and families.

Our Vision / TYGTAL Family Experiences

These testimonials describe families’ past experiences with Our Vision and TYGTAL. They are not guarantees of LYF Academy or recruiting outcomes.

TYGTAL has been one of the best decisions we’ve made in regards to our son, Marcus’, future. Coach Wise & Dre truly invest themselves into the student-athletes that they bring into their organization & they make them family. Not only is Marcus receiving coaching & training about football but he’s also receiving advice about life skills that will make him a better man when he becomes an adult. Coach Wise & Dre have a heart for their guys & they’re passionate about what they do. We’re beyond blessed as a family to have them in our lives

Tygtal Exposure and Sports Consulting Services has opened the doors for so many opportunity for my son. Coach Wise is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about each and student/athlete. It’s very hard to find a program that you can trust to know that your child’s future is in good hands. Tygtal to me represents an organization that you can trust that direction and advice will be given for the best interest of your child. Additionally, the wealth of knowledge that you will receive as a family,that at times most parents are unaware of, is believeable. It’s because of Tygtal that my son was recruited and they strive to maintain a relationship throughout his collegiate career. I am beyond thankful that I was introduced to this company through Coach Wise 3 years ago and I will definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Tygtal is an awesome company to say the least. Being a single mother of an athlete and having no clue as what to do to get him where he needed to be. Coach Wise stepped right in and took control. I’m proud to say that my Son is one of the Defensive Ends for Ohio Wesleyan with the support of Tygtal Exposure!
