“We are thrilled to introduce the National Team Development Program Academy,” said U.S. Women’s National Team Assistant Coach Erin Virtue. “This is an incredible opportunity for athletes and coaches to enhance their learning by hearing from our National Team athletes and staff. Our goal within the NTDP is to educate the complete athlete, and the academy allows athletes to choose their own adventure and work on all aspects of their game. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to this Academy, including recent gold medalists from our U.S. Women’s Beach and Indoor National Teams.”
