In February 2022, he was named IMG Academy’s head of school, where he oversees, organizes, and grows the world-renowned school’s academic programs while assisting with various aspects of its athletic program.

Why do students struggle? I'd argue that they lack access to quality instruction, but think about it. That's totally out of their control.
