Elite Sport Education Network

Supporting elite athletes for the duration of their study

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) leads the design and delivery of innovative evidence-informed systems and support that unites and enables athletes, coaches and those working in the high performance system to win well. This is achieved through prioritising the development and delivery of integrated, holistic services and programs that are designed to improve the ability of athletes, coaches and staff to effectively navigate their career in high performance sport and to enable them to achieve sustained success in sport and in life.

The Elite Sport Education Network (ESEN) is comprised of AIS endorsed Universities, TAFE’s and other education providers who have committed to supporting elite athletes, coaches and officials for the duration of their course of study. This ensures their experience on, and off campus, is one that is rewarding, flexible and helps them acquire the right skills and qualifications needed to follow their passions and interests outside of sport while still pursuing their sporting goals.
