An expansion of service delivery staff and coaches at the NSW Institute of Sport highlights an increased commitment towards developing Australia’s elite athletes.

A number of new roles have been announced in the Performance Support team, aimed at ensuring NSWIS continues to develop its world class athlete service delivery model.

The positions will grow athlete support capability across strength and conditioning, physiology, nutrition, data science, biomechanics, performance analysis and performance health.

In addition, ten new coaching staff have already been recruited over the past six months, further evidence of the importance being placed on increasing capacity for sport.

“It is yet another positive step forward for NSWIS in providing world class service to our athletes and ultimately helping them to become world’s best.”
