with their own capacity for development.

the training. Coaches at the Pohjois-Savo Region Academy of Sport give instruction every morning
between 8.10 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. and in the afternoons after normal lessons.

school to
Teamwork
• Athletes at the Sports Academy are extremely motivated and target oriented; they are the
best in their age group. Training in really tough groups is an excellent example of

• The athletes are of different ages, on which account the younger ones are able to
familiarise themselves with the sharper end of top-class sport which in turn influences
their own training.

the boys learn to be as conscientious and methodical as the girls.
