“APM has been instrumental in helping me navigate the demands of being a student athlete. They've guided me through the essential aspects of nutrition and the requirements to achieve success.”

“APM - has done a lot for me throughout my school years in making sure I get the best mentorship and guidance so that I could make the right decisions as a young student. I think this so important as it can be really tough to try and make decisions and manage yourself but having this support allowed me to grow , focus on the things that I can control and really be ambitious. It gave me the opportunity to have a good balance with both academics and sport and together."

“Having a mentor alleviates some of the energy-draining practical decision making and increases your capacity for creative decision making. I believe athletes who have more time for creative decision making will always have higher potential than those who don’t, and mentorship is instrumental in giving you this advantage”
