Methodology
Live and at your own pace
Live sessions are the heart of our program. We always encourage attendance because that’s where the magic happens: real-time debate, the resolution of complex questions, and the creation of a valuable network of contacts with other professionals in the field.
However, we understand the daily demands of the sports world. For this reason, if you can’t attend a class, don’t worry. All sessions are recorded, and you will have access to them for a set period so you can catch up or review the content at your own pace.
Flexible enrollment
You have until December 31st, 2026, to enroll in the course. Although the live sessions take place from May 6th to 27th, upon enrollment, you will gain immediate access to all recordings of the sessions that have already taken place.
