GIS: MORE THAN AN ATHLETE
It is crucial that athletes are able to manage the competitive demands of their lives both on and off the field of play, so that they can perform at the highest level possible. In order to maintain performance lifestyle, athletes have to fit many aspects of their life into and around their intensive training and competitive programmes along with their statuary education. When striving for excellence it is often too easy to miss the bigger picture and ignore some of the fundamental aspects of their life, and the fact that one day their sporting career will come to an end and they may have to change direction.
The main aim of the GIS: More Than An Athlete program is to encourage as many aspiring athletes as possible to look ahead and hear the real life stories of professional athletes who have been there. Through the GIS More Than An Athlete program, our workshop covers;
