This year was my sophomore season. Clearly if I came back for a second year, I am not providing unbiased advice on whether you should go.
I had been considering attending K Academy until I read Sarah Goswick's blog post from her first year - https://kacademy.com/this-is-life-in-color/. After reading it (yes, all of it) I knew I would forever regret it if I never went. Her post is long, but well worth reading. And it was great meeting her at K Academy 2021 and being able to tell her how important that blog post was to me being there.
When I went in 2021 I thought I would go once to check it off my bucket list. But after that first year, I knew I would be back. The best thing about K Academy is how friendly and welcoming everyone is. Coach K and everyone makes everyone feel like they are part of the family - no matter what your skill level. It was lots of fun this year going back and being able to talk with folks I had just texted or emailed over the last 20 months.
So, my recommendation would be to definitely add it to your bucket list.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
