What does this education for athletes exactly offer?

Students aged 4 to 18 entering the English School of Asturias Sports Academy will enrich their education in five fundamental areas:

• Aquatic Training: Developing water-related skills such as swimming styles, apnea control and movement in the water, which are cornerstones for all water sports, from swimming to water polo, synchronized swimming, and any other open water disciplines, such as triathlon, rowing, sailing or surfing.
• Motor Skills Training: Enhancing specific and general motor skills from an early age, ensuring constant challenge and personalized training.
• Emotional Training: Focusing on emotional regulation, critical thinking, decision-making and self-confidence, we equip children with essential tools not only for sports but for the academic and professional environments.
• Social Training: Emphasizing communication, teamwork, building positive relationships, and fostering self-confidence, respect, and appreciation for others.
• Family Monitoring: Recognizing the family’s essential role, providing close monitoring, family support, and access to learning tools such as sessions with nutritionists, sports psychologists, personal interviews with coaches, and a tracking app.

Who leads this sports program?

Modum Sport Academy, created by and for athletes, employs highly qualified coaches who have trained or been elite athletes themselves..

Students also benefit from master classes with ‘Sports Mentors,’ including Olympic medalists and high-level athletes, inspiring them to explore different sports disciplines. We inaugurated these sessions a few days ago with a masterclass by Laura López. The international and Olympic medalist from the Spanish National Synchronized Swimming Team at the Beijing Olympics literally jumped into the pool with our young swimmers, greeting and answering questions from their parents after this memorable first encounter.

As parents and educators, we understand that sports contribute to self-discovery, personal discipline, and, above all, enthusiasm. At the English School of Asturias, we create optimal conditions to ignite each student’s passion for learning, establish healthy lifestyle habits, and achieve sporting excellence.
