Welcome to STATSAR'US, a site where we take a closer look at the group of students who participate in athletic competitions for their schools at the secondary and tertiary levels. This site also looks at providing consultantcy to parents, sports administrators, event planners and educators under the umbrella of devolping the body, soul and mind of student-athletes. We believe that these students who perform well in the classroom and on the field of play develop certain traits that will lead them to become leaders of their respective societies. How they perform, how their predecessors have preformed, why they perform the way they do, and how governing associations organise the sporting competions all play a part in the growth and development of student-athletes. This site hopes to provide consultantcy to student-athletes on matters inside and outside the classroom, and help them to make choices of careers that they can pursue and how best to select subjects, programmes and the institutions in which to fulfil their career path. We will be introducing formal recognition of the student-athletes who excel as sportsmen and women and as students. This recognition will be through our academic-sporting awards-the Academic All-Jamaican awards. |
