The central theme this year is to transform the passion experienced in sports into an enthusiasm that defines life itself. Despite various initiatives aimed at supporting the careers of athletes, many fall short of addressing the fundamental issues faced by athletes transitioning to life post-competition. It is crucial for student athletes to engage deeply with their selves and forge connections with inspiring role models.
