UTS HPRC Symposium - Connecting Health and Performance: Beyond the Playing Field

Hear from expert presenters about the importance of integrating health and high performance, with a focus on supporting the well-being of athletes and coaches to enable sustained, high quality outputs. The Symposium will be a face-to-face event showcasing the best sports science, sports medicine, partnerships and coaching presenters that Australia has to offer.

Attendees will hear from leading sports scientists about contemporary strategies for monitoring athletes at the highest level of sport. We will also place the spotlight on mental health for athletes and coaches, with a focus on the integration of strategies to monitor and support performers prior to, during, and after competition. Given the success of many research partnerships between UTS and the high performance sports industry, there will be a session on the strategies to develop and nurture collaborations which are such integral aspects of success. We will also look to the future of sports science and sports medicine research, seeking ways we can optimise approaches for enhancing athlete and coach well-being.

The event is aimed at coaches, strength and conditioning staff, sports scientists, sports psychologists, PDHPE teachers and other professionals working with high performance athletes
