our coaches

We employ a full-time coach for each of our fully managed Sport Programmes.

Their role is to lead the programme and to manage the input of specialists from other expert areas that work directly with our athletes. Each coach is responsible for identifying and selecting nominated athletes to support on an annual basis.

We also employ coaches specialising in areas such as strength and conditioning, and a number of our Sport Programmes have grown to include assistant coaches.
