A course that has a perfect blend of academic and applied practice. Essential for anyone who is serious about working in Elite/Performance Sport. Highly experienced team of staff in a great location.

Is it any wonder athletes find it hard to take a day off and recover when you have “elite/pro” athletes saying “rest day today….I only did”………and continue to list the so called easier activities/workouts they did that day. Nothing close to a rest day.

Great news that Anna Good is reopening again under the stewardship of Michael Black and his wife Mary, taking over the business from Anna Good who did a tremendous job in creating #Wholegreen. Both Michael & Mary are warmly welcomed to the area. bit.ly/3fv8yiR

This is not a message to be proud off or one to be aspiring too. Not just in cycling but in many sports,poor and dysfunctional relationships with food are a huge concern.

For optimal athlete development, play the long game. Involving kids in talent promotion programmes early leads to short-term performance success. But success at senior level was associated with LATER entry into talent promotion programmes. Data from ~6000 athletes 👇
