Mission Statement

Our Goal is to help guide, mentor, coach, and train the next generation of athletes and help every athlete develop their sports performance ability to their full potential through a positive and encouraging based training environment.

Former Denver Broncos safety and University of Michigan football safety. Dymonte has achieved the dream of every young athlete, the ability to train, develop, and play at every level of sport.

From a young age growing up in the small town of Alliance, Ohio Dymonte was active in sports playing baseball, football, wrestling, and track. Through Highschool Dymonte was a 4-year letterman in 3 sports, Football, baseball, and wrestling and as early as a freshman he was able to gain the attention of collegiate coaches and scouts for baseball and college coaches for football.

I tell you this not to impress you, but rather to impress upon you my firsthand knowledge and experience at the highest level of sport competition and the knowledge and experience to help athletes train their bodies and focus their minds to gain the mental focus and confidence needed to help them achieve their dreams and take them to their next level. I have always wanted to give back and help other young athletes attain their dreams and now with DT Sports Academy I am able to do that.

In addition to Dymonte’s hard work on the field and in the gym, he’s always been passionate about serving his community. Throughout his life, Dymonte has always worked hard & overcome many challenges to reach success. In order for him to share his success with his community as well as inspire others to generate their own individual success stories, he co-founded the More Than Football foundation in October 2018 as a way to conquer both.

The Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities and improving the lives of youth. Focused on helping benefit and enrich local youth, Dymonte’s hope is to evoke change and inspire fellow community members through core values of dedication, leadership, and accountability to ensure the youth of our community can reach their full potential in a safe and secure environment. Dymonte prides himself on being a superb example of what it means to be a leader and doing what it takes to make a positive difference.
