FUTURE CHAMPION

is a school for life.

See how Future Champion has transformed the lives of dozens of children and teenagers from Santa Catarina.

Started with Olympic medalist Pedro Barros and later expanded to other names recognized on the world sports stage, Future Champion's methodology is built on experiences and teachings that go beyond physical training.This learning encompasses awareness of the child/teenager's own wholeness, while also boosting interpersonal relationships (family, friends, community, etc.).

The idea was always to create a training environment but, above all, one of experimentation. A place with playful experiences and opportunities for children and teenagers to develop and refine different skills.Skills useful for sports practice and, above all, for handling life's challenges.

Serving young people aged 7 to 16FC is a school for life. Since its launch, it has helped shape many important names in Santa Catarina's sports scene, among them,

skateboarders Pedro Barros, Pedro Carvalho, Diego Takahashi and Yndiara Asp, and surfers Lucas Vicente, Léo Casal, Tainá Hinckel and Isabelle Nalu.

“Beyond developing my motor skills and being able to train with my friends, I learned to work as a team and met many people, including people from within skateboarding I had dreamed of meeting.“Beyond developing my motor skills and being able to train with my friends, I learned to work as a team and met many people, including people from within skateboarding I had dreamed of meeting.“Beyond developing my motor skills and being able to train with my friends, I learned to work as a team and met many people, including people from within skateboarding I had dreamed of meeting.“Beyond developing my motor skills and being able to train with my friends, I learned to work as a team and met many people, including people from within skateboarding I had dreamed of meeting.

"At first, when I was just 9, I would leave Balneário Camboriú with my parents to attend the classes at Aktion Paz, in Lagoa da Conceição, Florianópolis. This journey was made three times a week."

Despite the intense routine, Aline Saraçol, Nicolas's mother, believes it was an important moment for her son's development.

Future Champion has the mission of promoting the healthy development of children and teenagers toward their various physical, cognitive and social potentials.

We use refined techniques to explore motor gestures, play, games and exercises that stimulate brain plasticity (neuroplasticity).

“This helps improve the quality of life of developing youth, following guidelines from the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB), based on experimenting, playing, refining and training.Guilherme Marafigo | Physical Education Professional

Methodology used in classes

Future Champion combines Pilates, Yoga, Functional Training, among other techniques that work on breathing, body and mind and guide the best path for young people's development, always respecting the characteristics and particularities of each age group.

“One of Future Champion's main differentials is that all the work is developed in an integrated way. We involve different health professionals, for example Physical Education professionals, physiotherapists and physicians, so that together we can find the best paths to refine and enhance these young people's abilities.
