How EdisonOS Helped Champ for Life Transform Passion into Purpose for Young Athletes

Champ for Life is a dedicated sports education platform created to help young athletes balance their sports training with a structured educational framework. Founded by PGA champion Indrajit Bhalotia, the initiative was inspired by the challenges Indrajit and his son faced while balancing professional sports with academic pursuits. Champ for Life’s mission is to allow students to pursue their passion for sports while still receiving a well-rounded education that prepares them for life beyond the field.

The traditional Indian education system often prioritizes academics over other pursuits, such as sports, making it difficult for young athletes to focus on their passion without risking their educational progress. Champ for Life recognized this gap and sought to create a more balanced approach. However, raising awareness of this need and developing a curriculum that reduced academic pressure while supporting athletes’ professional goals presented significant challenges.

Key challenges faced by Champ for Life:

  • Traditional education system prioritizing academics over sports
  • Lack of support for students pursuing professional sports while studying
  • Difficulty raising awareness for a curriculum that balances education with athletic goals
Learners feel they cannot risk following their dream. This is a concept we wish to eliminate by bridging the gap.

EdisonOS provided the flexibility to design a concise curriculum that covered 10% of traditional academic content, allowing students to focus on their training without compromising their education. The platform also allowed Champ for Life to mentor students using the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) curriculum, helping students successfully pass their 10th and 12th-grade exams.
