Supporting the dual career pathway of elite female athletes
Challenge: excelling in all areas—achieving top-level performance both in sport and academics.
We designed and deployed a unique support program tailored to the demands of young elite female athletes. Their goal: to achieve high performance in sport while maintaining personal balance and pursuing academic success.
We built our strategy around four complementary pillars:
Career guidance assessment: clarifying and implementing both academic and professional pathways.
Emotional assessment: identifying emotional patterns and learning to achieve emotional balance in all situations, especially under pressure.
Mental preparation: strengthening focus, resilience, and self-confidence to ensure consistent performance.
Personalized workbook: tracking progress, maintaining direction, recording reflections, and working on topics addressed during sessions.
