Academic structure, accountability, and strategic support for

ambitious student-athletes and the families supporting them.

why we exist

student-athletes and their parents have to navigate academics, sports, and the recruiting process...

Today’s student-athletes are balancing intense training schedules, demanding academics, travel, pressure, and exhaustion. Many parents feel like they are constantly managing grades, schedules, assignments, and stress while trying to support their child’s athletic goals. Over time, academics can create tension and anxiety for the entire family.

That’s why we created CarpeDiem Academics.

As former high achieving NCAA and High School student-athletes ourselves, we understand the unique demands of competitive sports, executive functioning challenges, academic pressure, and the emotional side of balancing it all.

Through academic coaching, planning, accountability, and personalized support, we help students develop stronger habits and better systems for success. Our goal is to help students feel more organized, capable, and confident both in school and in life.

CarpeDiem coaches are former high school or NCAA athletes who know the academic and athletic systems and mentality to help your teen succeed.

Every CarpeDiem Academics coach is selected not only for academic expertise, but for their ability to build meaningful relationships with students. Our coaches provide the structure, accountability, encouragement, and guidance that help student-athletes thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Through consistent support and personalized attention, our coaches help students develop the habits, confidence, and life skills needed for long-term success in college and beyond.

parent support

CarpeDiem is founded by a former NCAA Division I gymnast and is also a mom of elite athletes herself, so she understands the daily grind and preparation for their future. Behind every high-performing student-athlete is often a parent carrying the emotional weight of schedules, pressure, academics, communication, and constant responsibility.

At Carpe Diem Academics, we don’t just support students, we support families by bringing structure, clarity, and calm to an often overwhelming season of life.

Real stories

Leanne

CDA Parent

Thanks to CarpeDiem coaches' guidance, my daughter is prepared to continue this success in college. I will be forever grateful for her help, and my daughter is so lucky to have someone like Tika in her corner!

Courtney

CDA Student

I really struggled with the ACT before going to CDA. The coaches took the time to understand how I learn and found the best way to help me achieve my goals. After just my first session, I left with more knowledge than I had when I came in. With their help, my score improved significantly and I can now get into my dream college!

Heidi

CDA Parent

With the Academic Success Coaching program, my daughter received one on one help that was a great fit to her personality. She had a very good rapport with her academic coach, and her grade in class went up a letter grade! CDA is the best!

Emily

CDA Student

In a matter of 3 months, my success coach was able to help me move my grade two letter grades! She was patient and efficient in each one of our sessions together and gave me confidence to trust myself during tests.

Tim

CDA Parent

CarpeDiem was pivotal to my student's success. They not only teach the subject well, but also how to study, which is lacking in the school system. Great complement to normal course work.
