The Dual Career model allows elite athletes to develop its full potential, combining high sports performance with higher eudaction, allowing an effective transition towards a work career.
Many athletes do not have the necessary tools to effectively combine sports and academic education, facing a disadvantage situation at the end of their sports careers against graduated candidates.
Based in our experience, we understand the challenges that the Dual Career model represents and the process that involves. We deliver solutions to the problems that athletes face when trying to combine sports and education:
Transportation
Endless displacements between your home, training centers, university, tournaments and competitions
Incompatible schedules
Reconcile the demands of sports at the highest level, which requires training sessions and competition, and studying a Bachelor Degree.
Specialists Dispersion
The optimal preparation of an elite athlete requires the interaction and coordination of different specialists: physical and technical coaches, nutritionists, physiotherapist, and sports psychologists.
Academic adaptation
Most educational centers do not have personalized advice to adapt the learning process to the demand of each particular athletes’ situation.
Bureaucratic management
Advice through student admission process and student visa management.
Orientation and monitoring
Personal follow up sessions and monitorization throughout the whole process.
Spain is a world reference in the preparation of elite athletes in both individual and collective disciplines. Tennis, golf, football, basketball or motor sports are some examples of the recent success of Spanish sport. The key of this success is based in the preparation of coaches and staff, first-level sports infrastructures and optimal climate conditions for the practice of sport.
