This enables them to verify which level to place their pupils at and gives the pupils a vision of the programme and the goals to aim for year after year. The “Method†has the standards of Vision, Approach, Language, Rules, Ethics and Values. The “Method†is a programme which takes in the pupil’s complete body-mind-spirit development in the dual identity of athlete-performer. The fine-tuned didactic method offers a learning process and stages of regular progress which allow the pupil to move forward to more advanced levels. The “Method†can carry the pupil to a professional level or to a top quality amateur level. The brand represents prestige, competence and quality and adds distinction to the affiliated schools.
