Welcome to
Áthlima Sport
Our vision is to redefine performance excellence by transforming sport.
Our mission is to empower sport stakeholders to reach holistic performance excellence in sport. These include sport national governing bodies, sport organizations, sport educators, physical activity teachers, sport coaches, sport parents, sport teams, individual athletes, sport officials, and various healthcare professionals who work with athletes.
In Ancient Greece, sport, particularly in the form of the Olympic Games, was the social and cultural highlight for almost 12 centuries. It provided a platform for performance excellence and fun for everyone involved.
The Ancient Greeks also recognized the significance of balance between sport performance excellence, and a culture that values effort, health, and fun for all its citizens.
This philosophy has carried over to the first Olympic Charter (1908) where the core values were to encourage effort, preserve human dignity, and develop harmony (International Olympic Committee, 2021). More than a century later, these core values hold true in the modern-day Olympic Movement, and sport in general. Today, sport continues to be a catalyst for both personal excellence and a global change for the betterment of its people.
At Áthlima Sport, we use research-informed approaches to connect sport participants back to the origins of sport – performance excellence and fun – by cultivating the joy in working hard, being a good sport, and positive coaching.
Born from the desire to leverage our 100+ years of collective expertise and experiences in sport as athletes, parents, coaches, officials, educators, researchers, and applied practitioners, Áthlima Sport is committed to making sport safe and fun for all its participants.
