USAT Partners with International Sport Achievers

USA Taekwondo, the National Governing Body for the sport of taekwondo in the United States, is pleased to announce a partnership with International Sport Achievers for the personal and professional development of USAT’s athletes, parents and member clubs. 

International Sport Achievers is a brand of International High Achievers and creates customized development programs for athletes, parents and clubs in the areas of dynamic sports psychology, performance enhancement, life skills training, parent support and strategic business development for club owners. International High Achievers boasts an 80% success rate with their clients who complete their customized programs, making them a clear choice for USAT. 

“Over the years we noticed that our athletes not only have the potential to be phenomenal champions, they also have the potential to be amazing leaders,” said USAT CEO David Askinas. “Moreover, it is important for all of us to remember that taekwondo is a way of life.  The tenets of taekwondo -- courtesy, integrity, self-control, perseverance and indomitable spirit -- are as applicable in the dojang as they are outside of it. This partnership furthers the mental development of the whole athlete with the goal of creating model world citizens.” 

The goals of this partnership can be boiled down to two main objectives: 

1.      Help athletes become better than who they are today by improving their self-awareness and dynamic critical thinking skills and;

2.      Support the healthy development of two important parts of their life – their families and clubs. 

“We pride ourselves on being the most innovative company to transform ambition into achievement within our clients,” said International High Achievers President and CEO Jinnie English, LCSW. “Our core belief is that everyone has the potential to be better than who they are today.  This, in part, explains our excitement in partnering with USAT.  Their athletes, parents, and clubs have enormous potential and we look forward to helping them get to the next level.”

About USA Taekwondo
USA Taekwondo is the National Governing Body for the sport of taekwondo in the United States and a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee. The organization began in the 1970s as AAU National Taekwondo Association and later broke away from AAU and created the United States Taekwondo Union (USTU). In 2004, its name changed to USA Taekwondo (USAT) after the USOC removed the leadership of the old USTU for malfeasance. It has complete authority over all decisions regarding U.S. national junior and senior team selections for World Taekwondo Federation events, including the Summer Olympic Games. USAT conducts national and international events each year. The U.S. Open, held in February, is one of the largest international black belt only events in the world.
