HAŠK Mladost implemented its STAY pilot across four sections – water polo, swimming, rowing, and field hockey – focusing on both academic support and volunteer engagement.
Key actions included:
- Peer tutoring and study groups to support athletes’ education
- Volunteer roles such as jury table assistants, youth referees, event organisation helpers, and social media contributors
- A strong focus on career path exploration beyond the athlete role
By offering a variety of supportive roles and flexible learning environments, HAŠK created a well-rounded support system to prevent dropout.
