Graduates of the Under Pressure Basketball Academy are well-equipped for success on and off the court. While our Basketball Program focuses on developing athletic ability and a heightened basketball IQ, our personal development program is aimed at creating self-sufficient adults with strong leadership skills, unwavering self confidence, and emotional intelligence.
Public speaking assignments, leadership workshops, and inspirational guest speakers provide students with important tools for personal growth. While many of our field trips and community service projects are designed to expose students to new perspectives to foster emotional intelligence.
We also offer group therapy sessions to help students overcome obstacles to pursuing their passions. Our ultimate goal is to produce well-rounded graduates that are physically, mentally, and emotionally ready to make a positive contribution to the community.
AI Adaptability
The skill or characteristic of a person who can adapt to all the societal changes that are coming because of AI is often referred to as "AI adaptability" or "AI resilience". It involves the ability to quickly learn new skills and technologies, to think critically and creatively, and to adapt to changing circumstances in a rapidly evolving world that is increasingly influenced by AI and automation.
AI adaptability also requires a willingness to embrace change, a growth mindset, and the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with others. In short, AI adaptability is a combination of cognitive, social, and emotional skills that enable our students to thrive in the age of AI and beyond.
