Shaping the future of sporting talent

Throughout the TASS network, it’s the practitioners who deliver support directly to athletes. Developing these practitioners is integral to TASS.

The TASS practitioner network

TASS practitioners are leading performance sport experts who provide specialist support to athletes at the top of the Talent Pathway.

TASS Practitioners use their expertise to enhance an athlete’s skill and capability. They are also part of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals who support athletes to achieve their goals. Throughout the TASS network, there are over 350 practitioners, experts in strength & conditioning, physiotherapy, performance nutrition, sports psychology and personal development.

Our practitioners can also access our wide range of funded CPD opportunities. We offer courses, workshops and mentoring programmes to help all experts stay at the top of their field.
