Philippines Sports Commission continues its efforts to improve sports education in the country by deepening its partnership with the United States Sports Academy. USSA President Dr. Thomas Rosendich discussed with PSC Chairman William Ramirez last Friday, a future collaboration on what would be a “catalyst” for the development of sports in the country. Known as “America’s Sports Academy,” the USSA seeks to aid in uplifting sports excellence in the Philippines. USSA is the only accredited sports educational institution offering bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in sports science in the United States. The optimization of the Philippine Sports Library became the highlight of the meeting. USSA gave their support in the sourcing of instructional materials and other learning resources to the Philippines, and also donating several reading materials.
