Accelerating Athletes

Accelerating Athletes Accelerating students' pathway to US-universities through athletic and academic achievement. Contact

Every year, thousands of smart Hong Kong students apply to universities abroad to further their education and go through the hurdles of the application process. However, every year applications have been on the rise by 7% year-on-year and the competition has become fierce. The current jump from high school sports training and University is massive - even Division 3 Universities expect 5 training s

essions per week with additional strength and conditioning at least 2-3 times per week. Foundation’s new Accelerating Athletes Program (FAA) aims to overcome these hurdles and set your students apart by identifying talent in academia and sport. We will guide them through the recruitment process, which can be more complicated due to the NCAA and US University recruitment process. Our Sports program is targeted toward rising seniors and juniors, and will teach them everything they’ll need to know about the process through a series of workshops and trainings. These topics include:

Stand Outs: The Advantages of Being a Student-Athlete
NCAA Rules and Regulations
The Recruitment Process (Communications and Scouting)
The Common Application Essay
School Selection (Identification and Research)
Introduction Sports Psychology: A Winner’s Mindset
Introduction to Different Training Methodologies for Athletes
Weak Links: Identifying and Rectifying Inactive and Overactive Muscles

Students who attend the Accelerating Athletes program will put together a writing portfolio, an athletic and educational resume, a tailored list of universities to target for recruitment purposes for a 4 week period. With our team of experts in applications and admissions, together with our partners in personal training at Ultimate Performance, we prepare students not just for the university application process, but in every obstacle they will encounter on the road ahead. Our aim is to accelerate your athletes development to bridge the gap and lay the foundation for success.

We bet that it's a lot more than you realise!

In "King of the Beach"-style tournaments, competitors who have never played together before pair up. One of them needs to take the lead.

Michael Jordan continues to INSPIRE!
President Barack Obama will solidify this by presenting him, along with 21 other recipients, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The award is a tribute to the idea that men and women, no matter where they come from, have the opportunity to change the USA for the better.

What can you DO to make the lives of those around you better? Every little bit counts.
