Ever wondered what it takes to build world-class athletes? Tucked away at the former Club Med location in Port St. Lucie lies a hidden gem that's been shaping champions for 15 years. Meet Gabe Jaramillo, founder and CEO of RPS Academies – a high-performance sports institute where students from 32 countries pursue their athletic dreams while receiving top-tier education.
Gabe shares his remarkable journey from corporate life to founding an elite academy that sends athletes to prestigious competitions like Wimbledon. With a philosophy inherited from his Olympic swimming coach mother – "honesty, hard work, and perseverance" – and his father's mantra to "follow your passion," he's created an intensive training ground where students immerse themselves in a competitive culture of excellence from 7 AM until 9 PM daily.
What sets RPS Academies apart is its three-pillar approach: academics, intellect, and sports. Students specialize in tennis, golf, beach volleyball, or soccer while studying in a private school that will soon offer the Cambridge program. The results speak volumes – four current students competing at Wimbledon, state soccer championships, world-class beach volleyball players, professional golfers, and most impressively, a 100% college placement rate with scholarships for graduates. Despite these achievements and contributing significantly to the local economy with 72 employees, Gabe expresses surprise that many locals don't know they exist. Listen to discover this world-class training facility that's putting Port St. Lucie on the map and preparing young people not just for sports success, but for life.
