BePro Grants - Fundación Occident:A sporting boost for young talent

This comprehensive programme supports sportspeople in their sporting, academic, and personal development.

Fundación Occident reaffirms its commitment to promoting young talent and equal opportunities through its collaboration with Fundación BePro Deporte España in the BePro Grants – Fundación Occident programme, an initiative designed to support sportspeople between the ages of 12 and 30 who combine their sporting activity with their academic education and personal development.

What is the BePro programme?

The programme goes beyond financial aid. The goal is to offer comprehensive support that allows sportspeople to face the challenges associated with competition, studies and the planning of their professional future with greater confidence.

The BePro grants – Fundación Occident provide financial aid to facilitate access to key resources for sports and academic development. The beneficiaries have a virtual balance that they can allocate flexibly to different needs related to their career path, including training, physiotherapy, nutritionist, and psychologist services, academic training, university studies, language learning and other services related to the athlete's comprehensive development.

In addition, the programme includes sports psychology grants aimed at young sportspeople seeking to strengthen their emotional wellbeing and performance. These grants consist of individual online sessions provided by professionals specialising in high-performance sports and mental health.

One of the distinguishing aspects of the BePro grants – Fundación Occident is its 360º approach. Participants receive tailored advice and support to help them make decisions about their present and their future. Through BePro's network of professionals, athletes can access academic guidance, psychological support, personal branding advice, and professional career planning. This approach promotes a balanced transition between their sporting endeavours and the personal and professional challenges they may face throughout their lives.

Every year, hundreds of young athletes face the challenge of balancing training, competitions, and studies. With this collaboration, Fundación Occident helps ensure that these dedicated and talented individuals do not encounter barriers in accessing resources that are fundamental to their growth.

The alliance with Fundación BePro is part of Fundación Occident's commitment to promoting education, personal development and sport as tools for social transformation and for generating opportunities for new generations.
