Elite sports students visit Loughborough University

A group of 15 Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) visited Loughborough University as part of a Sports Science Support Day.

The Elite Sports Performance Programme (ESPP) students went along to the Sports Science Activity day on Friday 6 November to take part in a day which was organised to help them with their Sports Science studies.

 

All the students are currently part of the College’s Elite Sports Performance Programme (ESPP). The ESPP was created as part of the Academy of Sport at NULC to allow talented sportspeople to continue their academic studies, while training and competing at the highest level.

As part of the day the students took part in a number of activities including Strength and Conditioning and a fitness testing.

Trevor Humphreys, Academy of Sport Manager at NULC said: “The day at Loughborough University gave the students an excellent opportunity to take part in a number of activities which will help to support their studies and continue to excel in there chosen sport.”
