ABOUT KDT SPORTS
15 years of educational and athletic experiences, top educator closes the gap to change the trajectories of student athlete’s lives
At KDT Sports, we value the importance of high-quality athletic training for all student-athletes. We know that the hardest part of being a parent is knowing that your child is ready for more—and that you can’t give it to them. It’s hard to watch them struggle with their homework when you don’t have the resources or connections to help them get ahead.
But we do! We’ve been around since 2014 and have helped hundreds of student-athletes achieve their goals. And we’re just getting started!
KDT Sports was founded by Dr. Kamilah Hampton, a sports mom who saw a huge need in the Chicagoland area, seeing a need for high-quality athletic training among black and brown athletes. She created an organization dedicated to giving students the tools they need to succeed academically and athletically—because we believe that academics are just as important as athletics!

And, as the Principal of Richard J Daley Academy, she’s witnessed the continual struggle that many minority and low-income families go through to provide athletic and academic opportunities for their deserving children.
It is through observing this growing disparity in access that inspired Dr. Hampton to start her nonprofit, Community Excel as well as launch KDT Sports, the first-of-its-kind athletic training facility in the Chicagoland area.
Known for her exceptional leadership skills, academic prowess, and natural ability to connect and inspire educators and parents, Dr. Hampton has quickly risen through the ranks within the Chicago Public School System to be on pace to become the youngest Superintendent in the school district’s history.
With a Bachelors in Speech Pathology and Audiology, Master’s degrees in Education, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership – she proves that true educators never stop learning.
The 2018 release of her uplifting book, It’s Worth The Wait Dr. Hampton has touched the lives of so many women, inspiring them to stand patient and committed to walking in their God-given assignments.
Dr. Hampton’s unwavering dedication to children of all ages, races, and demographic backgrounds is single handedly redefining what opportunities are possible for hundreds of students every year.
