Cezar Hirsescu - Swimming

The BEAP program has been one of the most influential factors of my sports career. BEAP has taught me many necessary skills that have made me a much better athlete and a better student. The program teaches you how to be a better athlete mentally and physically. In the BEAP health class, I have learned how to effectively set goals, manage my nutrition, and apply training fundamentals such as proper resting or overloading to my workouts. In the gym, BEAP greatly improves all the physical aspects that are important to any athlete, such as explosiveness, strength, endurance, and agility. 

One incredible aspect about BEAP workouts is the fact that the program is so well rounded. As many people compete in many different sports, their skill sets will all be different. As a result, all athletes will have different strengths and weaknesses. BEAP is great because it will force you to improve your weaknesses which will result in you becoming a well-rounded athlete. 

While in my first 2 years in BEAP, I qualified for provincial and national level meets such as: Ontario Swimming Championships, Canadian Eastern Swimming championships and Canadian Age Group Nationals. My goal for next year is to qualify for the 2021 Olympic Trials. My goal after high school is to swim in the NCAA at a prestigious university such as MIT. 

BEAP has provided me with an excellent high school experience, which I am sure will only get better during my next two years. Within BEAP you will meet some athletes that are just as motivated and hardworking as you, and teachers that will push you to become better. BEAP will surely provide you with a high school experience that you will forever remember.
