About Honest Game  

Honest Game, founded in 2019 by Kim Michelson and Joyce Anderson, is a Chicago startup in the sports technology space. Honest Game’s technology helps high school student-athletes navigate the college academic eligibility process and works with public and private high schools, coaches and counselors, club sports teams and individual athletes to ensure student-athletes complete the academic requirements required to play sports in college.

As a public benefit corporation, Honest Game is the first digital platform to track a student-athlete’s academic progress in real time so they can meet National Collegiate Athletic Association requirements and access available college athletic scholarships. The startup provides academic eligibility status for each player and can identify when a student needs summer school or credit recovery courses to become college eligible, allowing college coaches to know immediately if student-athletes meet academic eligibility requirements to be recruited.

Quote from Honest Game (Kim Michelson - CEO) “We are excited to be the official academic partner for the New England Premiership and are thankful for them valuing the holistic student-athlete. This partnership is a transformational opportunity for the New England Premiership and Honest Game to use sport as a vehicle to higher education and impact future generations”
