Sport Performance & Business
The Sport Performance and Business research program aims to enhance the performance of sport in training, competition and the business environments.
We focus on sport that inspires – specifically how we can advance and develop the performer, coach, umpire, practitioner, administrator and organisation.
We are guided by our strong commitment to develop our partners, with a global focus, and engaging with government and industry to address big-picture, real-world problems.
Our program includes four research groups with approximately 90 staff and higher-degree research students.
