Editor's Notes
How are we different
Staff success within athlete support and development
Performance team approach currently unseen in the area
Facility control enables a service focussed business model to a specific target audience
Offering specialist services targeted at the sporting culture of the area
Pro-active and consistent local club / team support
Operating from our own facility we will provide a high quality of private physical training, therapy, and sports science, while using cross service referrals and athlete information sharing within our multidisciplinary team to ensure consistent and complimentary advice between our services. Through offering pitch side support we will form a strong network between local sports clubs, and national governing bodies, by facilitating the requirements of their already established athlete support models and integrating them into our own grass roots to high-performance pathway.
