“Fort Worth Academy athletics and physical education most definitely helped shape me into the woman I am today! All of the coaches emphasize teamwork and leadership during all practices and sporting events! They all encourage their players on and off the court and in and out of the classrooms as well! I have brought those traits into the real world and work well every day with my team in the dental office! FWA is a truly FWAmily when it comes to athletics and team work!”

“Participating in the FWA Athletics program through numerous different sports taught me to pursue my very best even when some activities didn’t come second nature to me. I excelled in high school because I knew what it meant to show up to practice, work as a team, and honor my commitment. These of course are lessons that stick with you for life and I’m blessed to have been shaped so positively through the FWA Athletic Program! Coach T loves these kids. They excel, and the departments is successful, because of the heart and soul she pours into each child individually, every day. Go Warriors!”

"The athletic program at Fort Worth Academy was always an encouraging and supportive environment, one that pushed me to give my best effort and grow not only as an athlete, but also as an individual. Being able to participate in multiple sports taught me how to adapt and stay disciplined—skills I still rely on today. Most importantly, I experienced the true meaning of teamwork, guided by an incredible coaching staff whose influence continues to shape how I work with others and handle challenges in everyday life."

"Athletics and PE were some of my favorite things at FWA. I loved learning about different sports and exercise in PE from our great coaches. By far, my best experiences were with middle school athletics. It's hard to say what I enjoyed the most--the practices with my friends, games against rival schools, the bus rides, or all the times we won. The great relationships with my teammates and coaches are something I will always remember."

During my time as a student at FWA, I had the opportunity to play several sports, including baseball, soccer, and basketball. FWA athletics taught me discipline, accountability, and leadership through the highs and lows that naturally come with team sports. I learned the value of patience and persistence as I transitioned from being a backup, to a starter, and eventually to team captain of the soccer team. The mentorship and support I received from my coaches were invaluable in my growth as a young man. I look back on my athletics journey at FWA with great fondness.
