Paul Savramis has always stressed the importance of education to the Rising Stars participants. Over the years, Rising Stars has worked hard to put this mantra into action, with Paul Savramis and the organization setting up several programs geared toward assisting students with their learning goals. Paul Savramis answers some questions about Rising Stars’ academic support programs below.

Q: If I feel my child isn’t getting the education he or she needs in public schools, what can I do?

Paul Savramis: There can be a number of reasons why a family may feel that their child is not receiving the education they need in public school. Most often the reason is that the child does not want or is not motivated to learn. In both of these cases Rising Stars may be a vehicle that can help facilitate better education. We strongly believe that to learn a child first must want to learn. The correct vehicle to promote learning then becomes paramount as does the correct environment. Rising Stars has developed a program called Academic Plus that is part of our basketball team programs. It provide support to help qualified students attend private school and puts them in situations that are conducive to learning..

Q: How does Rising Stars do this?

Paul Savramis: We’ve formed a partnership with several private schools, including our home school Long Island Lutheran, Holy Trinity, Chaminade and Holy Cross. We work with our sponsors to find students that qualify for assistance through Academic Plus and are always looking to add additional schools.

Q: Once my child has been accepted into Academic Plus, are there ongoing requirements?

Paul Savramis: Yes. Rising Stars coaches will monitor the academic performance of all children enrolled in private schools through the Academic Plus program. This includes regular report card monitoring and community service.

Q: What if my student is unable to maintain a acceptable GPA in the program. Will he or she be told they are no longer a part of the program?

Paul Savramis: Rising Stars has a peer-counseling program that can work one-on-one with the student to iron out those trouble spots. We work with the teachers the family and the child. Not every child can succeed immediately and in some cases difficulties need to be overcome. The important thing is that the child continues to try and continues to want to succeed to stay in the program.

Q: My child is in high school, preparing for the SAT. I’ve heard that Rising Stars offers assistance with that. Can you tell me more about that?

Paul Savramis: Rising Stars offers tutoring for SAT Prep in addition to our regular peer tutoring and homework assistance.

Q: My child has a busy schedule, between school and extracurricular activities. Are the peer counseling hours flexible?

Paul Savramis: Yes. Our peer counselors can work around your child’s scheduling, finding a time that is convenient for everyone involved.

Q: Rising Stars emphasizes the importance of a college education. First, what assistance does your organization provide to high school students preparing to enter college? Also, do you offer one-on-one counseling?

Paul Savramis: Rising Stars offers seminars to help prepare young students for the college experience. We also have a specialist that works one on one with every senior in helping them through the process from filling out college applications to sorting through all the different choices.

Q: I read that Rising Stars is a participant in the Student Sponsor Partners program. What is this program?

Paul Savramis: The Student Sponsor Partners program attempts to address the high number of high school dropouts by forming partnerships with students to provide private education and college planning. This mentoring lasts for four years and can be vital to a student’s college success. Providing that support is important and Rising Stars is proud to be a part of what they do.

Paul Savramis received his Master’s degree in physical education from Queens College. Prior to graduation, Paul Savramis founded Eastern Invitational Basketball Camp, a youth-oriented basketball camp that continues to thrive today. With Rising Stars, Paul Savramis was able to further his dream of helping youth achieve their education and sports goals.

If you are a student in University of Georgia, you should join Bulldogs just as Kyle Thomas Glasser did. Welcome to number one famous Georgia Bulldogs Club. If you have not bought your ticket yet, it is not too late. Kyle is a senior student in the UGA. The main purpose of this club is to provide athletic students with scholarships. It is an arm of Athletic Association, which provides financial support and high-class facilities. It promotes the varsity sport programs that UGA has. To be a member of the Georgia Bulldog club means a lot.

Why is that? This means you are a leader in class, community as well as the pool. Some people who are already members say that they are Dawgs. The Athletic Association does not get any funds from the university, federal or the state. The main sources of funds are friends and alumni. All these are to make sure that the entire students who qualify to get the athletic scholarship get the necessary athletic tools as well as university education. If a scholar gets such necessities, he/she is able to come out of school as a well-rounded, finished product ready for the job market and for the challenges of life.

If you are wondering about the objectives of joining the University of Georgia Bulldogs club, then you are not alone. Many students who join testify that they have been able to concentrate much better in class. In addition, the university supports the club, thus improving student performance and experience in both classroom and community. The same case can apply to you if you join. One thing about a student athlete in this club is that the experience one will get cannot be compared to any other experience in one’s life.

Normally, the UGA Bulldogs club hosts 3 funds in a year to recognize seating systems like Basketball for me, Football as well as Gymnastics. The club mainly has 21 sports. This shows why this club requires huge financial support to achieve its goals. Well, if you cannot be a member then you can be a booster. A booster is someone who supports the club financially to help it run smoothly. Such an amazing opportunity of participating in Georgia’s sports is beneficial because you do not only gain education but it also helps you attain superb health. If you wish to donate gifts to University of Georgia Bulldog club, you can do so online. Kyle Thomas Glasser loves football and athletics and the Bulldogs offer all of those.

DR Marketing Group on Lifetime with Close Combat

DR Marketing Group

DR Marketing Group

The following segment aired on DR Marketing’s Incredible Discoveries. Joining DR Marketing Group was Close Combat to discuss self defense.

DR Marketing Group: What you’re about to learn will change your life forever. You’ll learn most secrets most self-defense experts don’t want to teach you. You’ll see why you don’t need years of training. A body full of muscle or any kind of weapon to step up in any confrontation.

Close Combat: If you’re searching for the truth about self-defense and you think you can handle it then don’t move. Captain Chris, the world leader in self-defense, is going to reveal the closely guarded self-defense secrets in the world. Secrets closely guarded for almost a century as we expose close combat training.

DR Marketing Group: When it comes to personal safety, there’s no such thing as too safe. You want to protect yourself and the people you’re with no matter what the situation. You want to have fun without feeling vulnerable. Go places without feeling intimidated or simply walk with confidence because whether you’re walking with someone or all alone, feeling confident and safe is your right.

Close Combat: In these series of videos, it’s very you know simplified, you can use it you know every you know people have absolutely no experience.

DR Marketing Group: Karate, Taekwondo, Ju-Jitsu, all these UFC Ultimate Fighting Championships. They all have rules. When we’re on the street, there are no rules. Close combat training is the best way possible to get out there and with low level basic skills to defend yourself.

Close Combat: People want to know how to defend themselves and their families and it’s information they deserve to know, and I was entrusted with that powerful information and specifically charged with that duty to share it. If I can help just one person stay safe then I’m making a difference and continuing on the legacy of all those in close combat who came before me.

DR Marketing Group: So you’re saying that the skills that you teach people are enough to protect them in any hand to hand or close combat situation?

Close Combat: Yes, literally anyone can use close combat to defend themselves, regardless of age, gender, or physical ability. But let’s get real. People don’t expect to get in hand to hand combat situations, I mean that kind of thing only happens in movies right?

DR Marketing Group: That is true.

Close Combat: But they can imagine themselves get into trouble when a stranger approaches on the street. An obnoxious guy in a bar, a drunk at a crowded venue or even just a sense of vulnerability you feel walking alone at night

DR Marketing Group: So really what this has to do with is confidence.

Close Combat: Exactly, and when you learn what I teach you, you never feel vulnerable again. You never intimidated again. You never feel afraid or worried about being humiliated again because you’ll have the confidence you need to take action.

DR Marketing Group: Okay here’s the big question. What about firearms? Do you need to carry a gun?

Close Combat: Absolutely not and here’s why…unless you are a trained professional, the only thing a gun is going to bring you is more trouble than you know how to   handle. All the facts support this. The bottom line is that when you learn what I teach you, you won’t even need a gun.

DR Marketing Group: And you’ve already taught tens of thousands of people just like me and all of our viewers how to stand up to any scary situation without a gun and walk away safely?

Close Combat: That’s right. I teach you step by step how to use the fear you feel in a confrontation and turn it into something you never knew you even had in you. You never feel scared, vulnerable or weak again.

DR Marketing Group: You know there’s going to be people saying, “Yeah right, why should I believe this guy? I’m going to pop a DVD in my living room and then I’m going to beat up anybody I want. How should I believe this?”

Close Combat: You’re absolutely right to answer that question. And when I first heard about close combat, I said the same exact thing. In other words, I know how you feel, but here’s what makes Close Combat so different from everything else you’ve ever seen or even heard of and it’s called Gross Motor Movements.

DR Marketing Group: Gross Motor Movements?

Close Combat: That’s right. Gross Motor Movements are basic muscle movements, like swinging your arm in a chopping motion, simply reaching straight out to push an attacker’s face or whipping your foot loosely as a simple kick. In a fear induced state, literally when you’re frightened for your life, you’re heartbeat shoots to above 175 beats per minute and your body enters into fight or flight and at this high level of fear under stress, only simple Gross Motor Movements are physiologically possible.

DR Marketing Group: That is very interesting. I am excited to learn more.

Close Combat: What I teach you will always work. No matter how big the other guy is or how small you are. No matter what training you’ve had or haven’t had before and like I said before if you can simply raise one hand above your head. It’ll work for you to.
