God gave Boris "BoJack" Jackson a platform. Coach BoJack gave it back. Speed Plus Academy exists to spread the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, give at-risk youth a fighting chance, and prove that discipline rooted in a Christlike mentality changes destinies — one young person at a time.
For thirty years, Speed Plus Sports built one of the most prolific athlete development programs in Central Florida history. Over 200 young men and women went on to college programs, professional leagues, and lives far beyond what the world had written for them. That was the platform. Speed Plus Academy, Inc. is what God intended to do with it.
Speed Plus Academy exists to use athletics as a launchpad for the true mission — spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, equipping at-risk youth with discipline rooted in a Christlike mentality, and developing the whole child: spirit, mind, body, community. Coach BoJack will tell you himself: the wins were never the point. The souls were always the point.
Most of the young men who walk through this program are growing up in single-parent homes. Most are fatherless. They are the ones the system has already begun to write off — children with IEPs, children on the spectrum, siblings coming together because their family needed somewhere to belong. Coach BoJack has been a consistent, present, faith-filled father figure to those young people across Lake, Seminole, Polk, and Orange counties for three decades. He does not just coach their bodies. He speaks life into their futures.
The proof is in the pipeline. Karl Joseph went from Orlando to West Virginia to the NFL's first round. Marcell Harris went from Dr. Phillips High School to the San Francisco 49ers. Chris Johnson went from Olympia High School to the Tennessee Titans. Over a dozen alumni are in the NFL today — and hundreds more are in college programs, careers, and communities across the country, carrying the standard Coach BoJack set over them before they were old enough to understand what it meant.
Speed Plus Academy, Inc. is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit expression of thirty years of sacrifice, obedience, and Kingdom work — delivering programs in athletics, spiritual growth, academic support, fine arts, financial literacy, and health and wellness across Central Florida. The platform was built by Speed Plus Sports. The mission belongs to The Father.

Through the Provision and Power of Christ, this ministry operates. He is not the backdrop — He is the engine. Every program flows from this truth.
Kids do not just need talent development. They need structure — consistent, high-standard, accountable structure that holds them to more than the world asks of them.
The field is a pulpit. Every rep is an opportunity for discipleship. Spiritual development and athletic development are not separate here — they are the same work.
The training is real. The methods are what NCAA and professional programs use. The standard is high because the standard set on Calvary is the highest standard ever set.
Every athlete who enters this program enters a family. Coaches show up. Parents are welcomed. The community is built one relationship at a time.
Speed and strength open doors. Education keeps them open. We develop scholars and students who know who they are — in Christ and in the classroom.
