For this month’s Athlete of the Month, Toronto FC Academy would like to award an athlete who truly embodies that value of Innovation, Promise Akinpelu.

Not only does Promise focus on developing the technical side of his game but also the mental side. 

Promise has committed himself to using Lumosity, a brain training program that develops memory, attention, flexibility, speed of processing, and problem solving.

For 52 weeks in a row, Promise has submitted a weekly report of activities within the program. The dedication shown by Promise in using new technologies to develop himself into a more complete athlete has not gone unnoticed and that is why he is the Toronto FC Academy Athlete of the Month.
