Building Faster, Stronger, Smarter Athletes

Accelerating Athletes

program

The primary aim of Accelerating Athletes is to supercharge athletic students to fortify their university application by showcasing their passion, their talent, and their dedication to athleticism and therebyhelping them to stand out from the applicant pool.

Foundation Global Education has devised a comprehensive American university preparation and application program: Accelerating Athletes. Specifically designed with promising athletic students in Asia in mind who are academically strong, but need the advice, guidance and mentoring that onlyFoundation can provide for US-bound students.

program

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Foundation Global Education has helped hundreds of students in Asia pursue the dream of studying overseas since 2001.

Our counselors provide comprehensive bespoke guidance to help each student build strong portfolios based on academics, extracurricular activities, and an in-depth exploration of their passion and talents.

For over a decade, we have been serving families with one purpose in mind: to give every child a chance at success. We believe there is a school for everyone, one that suits the individual student. With our extensive experience of schools around the world, we areconfident in our ability to find the best fit for every student.

To be accepted to the best universities, it is no longer just about how good a students’ grades are, he or she must now also demonstrate strengths beyond academics to prove well-roundedness so that every student will contribute to the university as a whole. This is what Foundation’s competitive sports program exemplifies.

The other important factor determining collegiate athletic success is to shrink the gap for an athlete at Hong Kong secondary school-level BEFORE they head to U.S. university-level sports program.

Our research indicates that universities (in Division’s I, II and III), have an intensive sports-specific training roster: fitness training 5-times per week, strength and conditioning training, weekly intramural games and inter-college competitions happening in addition to those. When one compares this with Hong Kong’s secondary schools: twice-weekly physical education class, after school club training once a week and Saturday morning competitions, it is sure to leave the US-bound athlete wanting.
