"We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Adams and the CKA SAVE Project. We share the goals of empowering students through rigorous academics and outstanding athletics. Developing the whole student to become a productive and successful citizen is also the Division III goal and we're proud to partner with an organization that has been highlighting the same power of sport. The CKA SAVE Project Balanced Student-Athlete Award is a fantastic way to shine a light on deserving student-athletes from our four conferences, and also to elevate their experience at the Opendorse Bowl Series. And knowing that research opportunities exist with CKA SAVE Project are an added bonus opportunity for our students. This is a fantastic partnership!"

“I support the CKA SAVE Project because I believe in Coach Adams. He has always put our academic pursuits ahead of our athletic goals, and it shows in the success his student-athletes have had both on and off the court. I hope you can support the CKA SAVE Project as well.”
“Dr. Keith Adams was an integral member of my dissertation committee. Dr. Adams’ expertise in the inner workings of collegiate student-athletes, but also his depth of knowledge associated with the NCAA made him the perfect content expert for my research on NCAA Division III student-athletes. Given the unique culture of collegiate student-athletes, it was critical to have a committee member who understood the various dynamics that impact student-athletes. Dr. Adams not only contributed his extensive knowledge on this subject matter but also his support in the overall dissertation process. I am both happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Adams as he has helped me to become the researcher I am today.”
“There’s a responsibility to being a student-athlete and the CKA SAVE Project provides a way for student-athletes to be the role model not only while in the game, but also in their daily lives.”

Working at CKA SAVE Project was a rewarding experience, contributing to something bigger than oneself.
The CKA Save Project is a godsend. Dr. Adams is a tremendous blessing who is confident and compassionate about assisting students who have a desire to compete at the highest level possible. He does not mince words about the reality that anything worth pursuing at a high level is going to be hard, and sacrifices must be made. As a scholar-student athlete, my daughter desires to earn a Division 1 scholarship in Track & Field, and she is gaining the accountability coaching and resources needed to help her prepare for the academic and athletic rigors of college. I highly recommend the CKA Save Project for any student-athlete serious about being successful, not only in their athletic endeavors but in life, period!
Dr. Adams' book is exactly what my son needs for academic and athletic preparation, outlining daily, intentional actions crucial for success.
Working with Keith was remarkable, providing knowledge for the college recruitment process and showing a true interest in everyone's success.
Finding the Balance was a great read! I've been heavily vested in youth sports for decades, Dr. Adams truly encapsulates the most critical messages for the success of young student athletes. Great content for teachers, coaches, parents, and of course the young athletes themselves. I also used his research and life experiences to train my financial services company. Chapter 12 in particular, which teaches the practical side of motivation, became the theme for our executive coaching sessions this month. Thank you, Dr. Adams!
