support student-athletes in balancing their training and academic studies
To support our elite student-athletes in reaching their potential we have a comprehensive performance services programme which we are able to tailor to an individual athlete’s programme. This includes two full time strength and conditioning coaches who service our sport scholars and performance teams in our performance S&C room which is for the sole use of these groups. In addition, we have two full-time Physiotherapists, a massage clinic, injury rehabilitation clinic and provide nutrition and sport psychology group and one-to one sessions for our sport scholars. We have two staff members within Sport and Physical Activity who are TALS qualified performance lifestyle advisors and work closely with academic departments to support student-athletes in balancing their training and academic studies.
