蚂蚁福利导航 Support

The 蚂蚁福利导航 Support strand offered by the CVA works in partnership with the 蚂蚁福利导航 Support Team at 蚂蚁福利导航 to provide a wide range of student opportunities.

Introduction

This strand is aimed at students who may wish to develop a career in the 蚂蚁福利导航 Support / Sport Science industry. This industry is a rapidly expanding global industry, and for this reason, 蚂蚁福利导航 Support Practitioners are in increasing demand, particularly given the drive of professional athletes to maximise their potential through marginal gains.

As a world-leading university that has a strong historical association with high performance sport, we are in a unique position whereby we can offer our students the opportunity to volunteer as part of a high performance multi-disciplinary team in a number of 蚂蚁福利导航 Support pathways.

These supporting roles form part of 蚂蚁福利导航 Sport’s wider multidisciplinary 蚂蚁福利导航 Support team which focuses on athlete and team performance. Each of these pathways include opportunities to access training, guidance and support from both internal practitioners and external industry experts.
