English: An essential part of the training plan for athletes

Welcome to Breakaway English!

Learning a foreign language in school has become mandatory in most countries. If your native language isn't English, it is very likely that you studied English as a second language. Many universities require a basic level of another language to even be accepted into their programs.

However, traditional schooling and learning falls short at giving you the skills and tools you need to use English in everyday life, or in a professional setting. Preparing for an English exam is one thing, but training to use English in real life takes practice, discipline, repetition, and resilience.

A New Method

Breakaway:

1. A divergence or radical change from something established or long-standing.

2. A sudden attack or forward movement, especially in a race or a game.

3. A sudden acceleration in an attempt to get away from the rest of the field in a race

(Oxford Languages Dictionary)

If you are a non-native English speaking athlete and you want to boost your career, it's essential to add an English coach to your arsenal, and communication practice to your weekly training plan.

It used to be that to acquire a conversational or advanced level of another language, you needed to travel abroad and spend months or years practicing that language. But for athletes with a strict training plan and ambitious sports objectives, this can be very challenging to fit into a full schedule of races and competitions.

Signing up at an English academy or for classes online can be helpful, but still may not meet all your needs as a learner with strict class schedules, large groups, and irrelevant material.

By breaking away from the traditional method of sitting in classes doing exercises that aren't relevant to you, your interests, or your career, or having to travel abroad to get practice, and adopting a more personalized method through online English coaching that adapts to your training and competition schedule and provides you with essential tools to help you speak about your sport better, you will start to increase your level of English without having to travel abroad or even leave your house.
