The combination between sports and studies in America is the perfect opportunity to develop to your full potential as an athlete, student and person in an international environment.
In the Netherlands it is almost impossible to do both a university study and play sports at the highest level on a regular basis. In America this is possible because universities have their own teams, and they do everything in their power to help students perform at both levels. The university makes sure that all your classes are adapted to your sports schedule, making it very easy to combine your school with your sport.
Universities offer academic coaching, intensive training and competition schedules, physical therapy and sports psychology. All this is organized in conjunction with the best facilities in the sports world. In other words, you will be prepared for a successful career in top sports.
