Foreword by Jim Mutton, Principal of Loughborough
College I believe Loughborough is the UK centre
for sport For elite athletes over 19 years of
age Loughborough has a superb portfolio of
education and sports development and coaching.
The College probably leads the way in the UK in
providing ultra flexible learning programmes
which allows athletes to fulfil both their
educational ambitions and their sporting
dreams. But for younger elite athletes, those
between 16-18 years of age the opportunities are
much more constrained. We now have a unique
opportunity to start to address this weakness, an
opportunity to put in place a provision that will
deliver more world class performers who will also
have had a superb education. Our proposed Elite
Athlete Performance Centre will specifically
support young elite athletes. Via the Centre and
the College we will appraise each individual,
reviewing their specific needs and create a
bespoke scheme balancing training and competition
alongside a workable flexible education
programme. Our new Centre will also deliver
student support, welfare, diet, recuperation and
other services. And the results will be elite
student athletes who at 18, will be fulfilling
their sporting potential, achieving education
qualifications and enhancing UK sporting prowess
and skills. We have the ideas and the building.
We know that there is both need and demand for
such a centre. We need your support and help to
bring this important and imaginative scheme to
fruition.
