State College, PA - After 3 months of fundraising and coordination, we are pleased to announce the establishment of a very unique opportunity in today’s world of developing MMA athletes. The LionHeart Training Scholarships will help to fast track a developing fighter’s skills by taking them completely out of the workplace and keep them in a gym where they can learn and train MMA as their full time job. We feel this tool will provide a very competitive advantage to any serious athlete aspiring to become a great professional fighter.
The LionHeart Training Scholarships are available to only serious athletes from any background, that are willing to dedicate their lives to becoming great fighters. Each scholarship would pay for all of the living, training and travel expenses the athlete would incur for at least one full year. The fund is currently big enough to be able to award at least 15 FULL scholarships every year to candidates that apply and meet the proper criteria.
Chad Dubin, owner of LionHeart Professional Management & Promotions, believes the scholarship fund allows fighters to fully focus on their training:
I’m excited about the establishment of this fund! I’m convinced that in today’s extremely competitive world of MMA, it’s almost impossible to succeed at the highest level if you also have to worry about working a regular job and paying the bills. Five years ago it was possible, but today it’s a much different sport. Today you must be an expert at four different martial arts disciplines and that requires a ton of time. The catch 22 is a dilemma that many up and coming professional fighters struggle with: how do you afford to train full time and develop into a fighter ready for the big leagues and for big dollars, when you are still fighting in the small venues with small purses? Unless you have wealthy parents that will support you, or you win the lottery, it is a dilemma with many up and coming fighters.
Chad went on to say:
Our goal is to find the right athletes, that are not posing as tough guys, but are willing to sacrifice and dedicate their lives to being great professional fighters. We want to take these athletes out of the 40 hour workweek and put them into the gym for 40 hours a week. Athletes with the proper mental toughness and dedication, in this environment, will develop at a faster pace as fighters and enable them to reach their goals in a much shorter timeframe.
Any athletes, or trainers with aspiring fighters, that are interested in more details about the LionHeart Training Scholarship Fund can contact Chad Dubin at 814-280-1982 or [email protected]
