A company built on passion for sports and serving student-athletes. Xsport recruiting 12 years leveraging dreams of whole families through sport and education.
With a dream in common and a big desire to make it happen, two former student-athletes – who had met during high school – met again after their international experiences and made their dream come true together. They started to be the change they wanted to see and transformed the reality around them by their individual attitudes. It was the chance to make a difference. In 2008, in Belo Horizonte the XSPORT company was born, in a market that was still crawling in the national : the sports exchange.
The creator-partners Fernanda Queiroz and Ronaldo Lopes brought their dreams in their arms, united to their personal and professional experiences of studies and international university sport’s practices to install the project that would raise XSPORT, after 12 years, to be one of the greatest and most respected companies of Sport Exchange in the nation.
“Your dream, our sport”: the beginning, the challenges and the results of everyday’s dedications.
This is the slogan of the company, that brings itself the roots of the trajectory until now: turn dreams into reality. As distant as they seem to be in the beginning. In such a challenging reality that is starting an enterprise in Brazil, Fernanda and Ronaldo invested their economies at the time to start the business, that began in a commercial room adapted to receive the company that was timidly born there. “It has been many years of struggle for us to be able to see this new look today, that is the new face of the company: refined, welcoming and visionary.” celebrates Fernanda. “It is very exciting to see what we have built, with a lot of dedication, trust and recognition. Here it is one more successful result. And we still have many more to come” commemorate Ronaldo.
The social change is in education and sports like levers of transformation.
We spent more than 10 years building this enterprise, that allows to leverage the dreams of the young and their families, that so many times battle to afford the investment for their children to have the opportunity to study abroad with a scholarship up to 100%, and thereby, allow a more enabling reality for them and their families. “It is beautiful to see young people changing their lives and being victorious. In some way this happened to me and to replicate the opportunity I had is my mission in this life,” says Fernanda.
Security in the process through the eyes of those who have lived
Through their experiences in the international university systems, Fernanda and Ronaldo know profoundly all the paths for the student-athletes to achieve their goals of being successful in their careers in the american and canadian competitions and get a degree in excellent education institutions.
