About Founder

Niel du Preez

Niel du Preez, the founder of Athlete International, knows firsthand the transformative power of studying in the United States and competing at the collegiate level. As a talented golfer, Niel was able to secure a bursary to attend college in the United States, where he excelled both on the golf course and in the classroom.

The experience changed Niel’s life for the better and sparked a passion for sports in the USA. After graduating, Niel returned to South Africa, but he never forgot the impact that his college experience had on his life.

Motivated by a desire to help other sporty students fulfil their dreams of competing in the United States, Niel founded Athlete International.
