Management
The internship is supervised by a multidisciplinary team of professionals in sports, health, and support. Present throughout the stay, the supervisors work in a coordinated manner to provide a structured, safe, and supportive environment conducive to progress.
The approach is based on a balance between athletic demands, individual attention, and a supportive environment. Sessions are designed to adapt to different levels and objectives, while support outside of training (recovery, nutrition, injury prevention) allows participants to experience the program with complete peace of mind. This small group setting ensures individual attention for each participant and helps create a positive group dynamic, fostering performance, enjoyment, and team cohesion.
