MFJR > Our Programme > Learning For Life Programme (LLP) > Montfort Schools Sport Excellence Programme (MSPEX) Developing life-long sportsmen Why are we starting MSPEX?Montfort Schools have always placed a strong focus on sports, not just for the purpose of developing elite sportsmen, but sports provided a platform for us to promote our school values. Both Montfort Junior and Montfort Secondary schools have a good track record in developing student athletes that have gone on to play the sport at a higher level. So what is MSPEX all about?MSPEX is a comprehensive sporting excellence program that seeks to develop our sportsmen with a holistic and broad based approach. This program serves to develop our student athletes in an age appropriate and developmentally sound approach that is grounded on principles of elite sportsmen development. Fundamentally, the Junior School will start off with a broad based exposure to a wide variety of sports for all students. Based on interest and aptitude, students may then pursue their chosen area at a higher level. Our student athletes will then be systematically developed and provided with opportunities to pursue their chosen sport at a higher level with greater confidence and competence. Research has shown that it takes 10 years for a talented athlete to achieve a certain level of expertise, 8 to 12 years to reach elite levels, 13 to 15 years to develop to excel on an international arena. Our MSPEX programme taps on the uniqueness of our two schools to provide a One Montfort experience, providing 10 years of seamless training and development opportunities, undergird by a common philosophy and approach.
It takes a community to nurture our sportsmen!We recognise that developing our young Montfortians to be sportsmen par excellence, we cannot do it alone. We need the assistance of our community to ensure the success of our MSPEX program. We are privilege to have a team of experts, comprising of academia, sportsmen, coaches, business leaders and organisational leaders to serve on our Advisory Council. Our team of teachers and coaches work closely together to monitor and implement the program and most importantly, we require the close support from parents. Working together, we will develop our young sportsmen to be the best that they can be. Age Quod Agis. Our Advisory Council
