BAŞARI
SPORTS ACADEMY
ON THE FIELD SINCE 2007
So what do you do next?
Başarı Sports Academy is a sports academy in Kartal, Istanbul, founded in 2007 by Vedat Timuroğlu. It runs thirteen programmes in two branches: physical preparation for the BESYO, Sports High School, PMYO, MSÜ and POMEM examinations, and sports schools in eight disciplines for children from the age of four. Karate is taught at the same address together with Kartal Karate Akademisi.
Transformation
We do not write a programme without measuring. Speed, jump, endurance and movement quality are recorded, and how far you are from your target becomes a number.
The programme is written on top of those numbers. The order is not broken: movement quality first, then strength, then speed. Measurement repeats through the block.
Exam day holds no surprises. You will already have lived the course, the cut-off time and the tension of the moment, many times over.
Chasing an exam result, or mastering a discipline? Both begin in the same place.

Football
A child who wants to quit is rarely talking about the sport itself. How to separate the real reason, when a break helps, and what a parent says that changes it.
