leap academy
15 years of experience
Our goal is to support the professional and personal development of those who work or aspire to work in the sports sector.
We want to be the bridge that people cross to reach the professional position they aspire to, by improving and expanding their knowledge and skills.
We believe that the individual growth of those who are part of a system is the driving force behind the overall development of the system itself. That’s why, through innovative and professionally oriented training programs, we want to determine a leap in the evolution of sports management and governance.
