We were honoured to welcome Mack Hollins, who is an American professional football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League, to our College campus last week, where he shared not only elite-level experience – but real-life lessons in resilience, mindset, and discipline with our NFL Academy student-athletes.

Mack spoke candidly with our student-athletes about the hard truths and high standards of professional sport, reminding us all that success begins with character, consistency, and care for others.

He jumped into drills, offered 1-on-1 coaching with our tight ends, and gave personalised feedback that will stay with these young players long after the final whistle.

Thank you, Mack, for investing in our students’ growth. You’ve inspired the next generation not only to aim high – but to work hard, stay grounded, and give back.
