Alumni Spotlight: Forrest Franklin “BEA coaches were able to give me a solid direction...They made me psyched and motivated to put in the work on my own time and that resonated with me the most” - Forrest Franklin Forrest is one of our most accomplished climbing alumni and an all around motivated person. Currently he is traveling all around the west coast in search of the best stone around. Recently, we caught up with him to see how he was doing, and to see what his plans were for the future. At BEA we really appreciate moments like these to see what is going on in the life of our Alumni. Ever since BEA started in 2009, we have witnessed thousands of youth athletes flourish within their respective sport and community. Today, we are still seeing these athletes grow and succeed, even after they leave BEA! Every year we are sad to see out athletes leave BEA when they age out of their program, but we want to continue our relationship with these alumni, stay connected, and see their success continue.
