@@razatiger22 I'm not knocking it? I'm knocking it calling it the #1 ranked high school when our education system got slaughtered by the DeVos family and her constituents.

Ngl my high school was almost at this level. Only difference was instead of dorms, training facilities, and pools we had homeless people walking on campus and police
Well that is pretty much every public school -- Homeless kids have to go to school too, by law. And yes, every school has cops and guards these days. Its the price we pay for everyone walking around strapped up. Were you just suggesting that homeless kids be denied education?
@@redwolfexrNo. I’m not suggesting homeless students. I’m talking about grown people that would tweak out and yell at us. On occasion there were few that would come up and ask for chocolate milk. Other than that they were violent
A little context Annual tuition ranges from $86,400 to $96,900 depending on what sport you play, and the school generates $80 million in annual revenue.
That's really, really dumb to pay that. Even if you get a full 4 year scholarship to college, you'd spend more to send your kid here than you'd save by earning a full scholarship. This would only pay off if you wound up going pro in your sport and making it to the top level.
@@BKKGarrett I’d assume they just got it like that or they are thinking of this as a investment in their future pro athlete child. Either way it’s a lot of pressure on the student athlete and if that pressure will create a diamond time will tell.

I went to a tennis camp there in the summer of 2007. I really liked it, I went online and looked at the cost and it was like 50-100 thousand a year for the school, tennis, and room/board. You’re only going to this school if you come from a wealthy family or are extremely talented in your sport.
Got to play a summer with a kid who pitched for IMG and when we went down to Florida for a week vaca had the pleasure of to play a couple games with their summer team. Kids were all good
My son did the 2010 Summer Wood Bat League there and loved it. Even managed to win player of the week. Wish we could have afforded to send him there for HS. Highly recommend IMG Academy.
i went to IMG for 1 year. School and tennis. For tennis it wasn’t the best you are basically paying for the name and it’s very easy to get in anybody can be there.
We toured it when my daughter was in Highschool. She was gonna do her Jr year with Leadbetter …however she couldn’t get over leaving home that early in life! Awesome Golf and Tennis 10 years ago…now it’s all the sports. Nice Vid
I mean my schools locker room isn’t that bad. We only had to change in the boys locker room because the girls locker room’s ceiling was falling down. I think our school is pretty close to how good theirs is 😅

@@JackWashburn_ thank you. How is it with the academics there? I heard that there’s barely any academics there and when there is it’s only for an hour or so?
I grew up 1/2 mile from this place waaaay back in the 80's when it was "Nick Bolliteri's Tennis Academy." Lived there in the late 80's to 2008. I'm in mid 40's now. That place as grown so much. We used to try to hook up with the foreign tennis girls when we were young teenagers skating at the "blue" 7-11 down the street. The tennis kids would walk up to the store.
I had no idea what IMG was until I moved to Bradenton in 2017. Then I would see the students, I assume, shuttled to different locations like Walmart, AMI, etc. They always had their t-shirts on and seem to travel in groups a lot. Anyway, all this to say, driving past hundreds of times the building looks beautiful from outside. I could only imagine what it looked like inside. Now I got a glimpse and it looks amazing.
really cool, thanks. even in this school there's room for more serious maths to meet the future of analytics in sports but more importantly actual education for developing minds. One issue with school tours is that it is really hard to get an idea of how the teachers are at the school, especially if they are all busy teaching and dont want to be disturbed
crazy how there is still schools with bigger stadiums, Katy Highschool in Katy, Texas has a stadium that could almost be confused with a college stadium.. literally 12,000 capacity.
I'm a teacher, so I looked this place up on glassdoor because I was curious about pay. Not great, lol. Ofc this is all self-reported as boarding schools aren't required to post salaries like public schools but here are some numbers... Avg pay: 43k - 63k Home prices in the area vary a lot but I saw a few at 328k which are similar to what I live in now (and I paid 205k for mine, but I live in a low COL area). I'd probably end up living in a condo, but that really wouldn't work for my family:). Single, sure...family no lol. Point being, I wouldn't want to teach there. Looking at the amazing facilities is great, and getting to use them is a perk...but for that pay it sucks. Teachers are already underpaid but this really seems like a slap in the face. Unless I'm missing a major benifit, doesn't seem worth it to me. Also looking at coaches pay, it seems really low. You are churning out the best athletes, super competative programs, etc...and you are only paying 36-58k a year. Now if you can stack that with a teacher salary it isn't bad at all...but I highly doubt the coaches there teach. Maybe I'm wrong. TLDR: Doesn't seem worth it to work here if you are a teacher or coach.
I remember racing a few kids who ran track at IMG in a post season meet after senior year of high school. They only beat me by a few seconds in the mile, and I just remember thinking about how their parents paid 80k/year for them to be not even under 4:20
I go to WPI which is a D3 college in Worcester Mass. This place is 20x nicer than the college I go to I don’t even understand how a high school can be like this.
Anna Kournikova and her parents lived in regular housing across the street back in 1993. My parents lived about 10 houses down from her at the time. She was attending back when it was the [Nick] Bolletteri Academy. Used to see her walking around the lake walking her dog.
@Romelus69 And? College football players have problems reading at a high-school level so I don't put much stock in their academic pedigree. It's just one more way for American billionaires to get people to pay for their shit.
This is how all schools should be looking in America with the amount of Tax Dollars that are collected every year. Instead politicians are pocketing it & sending over 50 billion to Ukraine.
As someone who has attended this high school i can say it is more like a college, and with that comes parties, drug use, alcohol use and things the school hides under the rug
img was so fun but 1 week is like 4k so my family lost a lot of money for me just to go to img for A WEKE but SO worth it I learnt a lot and this place is just amazing
Dang, the only thing I could think of from this tour was the cafeteria and the food. Do they have any spots open for like food olympics? I think I can train to place at the top here...
