# The Brett Academy — Comprehensive Agent & LLM Knowledge Base (llms-full.txt)

## Overview & Mission
**The Brett Academy** (https://thebrettacademy.co.za) is South Africa's premier junior cricket performance academy and digital video coaching platform, founded by **Merrick Brett** (Eastern Storm Professional Fast Bowler and 4-year former Titans cricketer).

Our mission is to bridge the gap between weekly net sessions and daily home skill mastery. Most junior cricketers (ages 5–15) forget 80% of what they hear in a 60-minute weekly net session because they repeat bad habits at home without biomechanical checkpoints. The Brett Academy solves this through two integrated pathways:
1. **7-Week At-Home Video Curriculum & App (`R 490 ZAR Once-Off`, Lifetime All-Access Pass — Anchored from `R 1,450 ZAR`)**: 49 daily 15-minute backyard micro-drills built on Coach Merrick Brett's standardized 6-Beat Video Framework, plus all 5 Specialist "Fix-It" Fault Correction Tracks, interactive rep/streak tracking, and baseline slow-motion coach video review.
2. **In-Person 1-on-1 & Small-Group Coaching (Pretoria East & Centurion)**: High-performance technical net coaching at Action Sports Arena & Turf Nets in Pretoria East and Centurion.
