A DIFFERENT PATH
TO COLLEGE
COLLEGE SPORTS PREPARATION, BUILT AROUND THE STUDENT-ATHLETE.
Academics, athletics, college preparation, and life skills in one integrated model.
OUR STORY
Taylor Made Prep Academy is a college sports preparation school built around a simple belief: student-athletes should not have to choose between a quality education and the opportunity to fully develop as athletes.
TMP combines academics, athletic development, college preparation, life skills, and real-world experiences into one integrated educational model.
WE PREPARE STUDENT-ATHLETES FOR WHAT COMES NEXT.
Our goal is bigger than helping a student graduate high school.
WHY TAYLOR MADE?
Taylor Made Prep was founded by Coach Jamal Edwards, a native of Taylor, Michigan. The name represents Coach Edwards’ hometown roots and the belief that every student-athlete deserves a path built around who they are, where they are going, and what they need to get there.
“Taylor Made” means individualized. No two student-athletes have the same journey. That is why TMP focuses on creating an educational and athletic environment that can adapt to the individual student.
THE TMP MODEL
ACADEMICS
Build the academic foundation and habits necessary for college success
ATHLETICS
Develop skills, decision-making, strength, confidence, and competitive habits for the next level.
EXPOSURE
Create opportunities to compete in high-level environments beyond the traditional high school setting.
LIFE PREPARATION
Develop independence, discipline, communication, leadership, and time-management skills.
MORE THAN A BASKETBALL SCHOOL
BASKETBALL MAY BE THE VEHICLE, BUT EDUCATION IS THE MISSION.
TMP student-athletes are expected to develop as students, athletes, teammates, leaders, and young adults. We believe the best preparation for college athletics includes preparation for college life.
OUR MISSION
PREPARING STUDENT-ATHLETES FOR COLLEGE, ATHLETICS & LIFE.
Taylor Made Prep Academy exists to provide student-athletes with an educational environment that prepares them for success in college, athletics, and life. We are committed to creating opportunities for students to discover their potential, develop their abilities, and build a path toward their future.
