The Victorian Institute of Sport

At the VIS, helping athletes to succeed in sport and life is a top priority and encouraging athletes to prepare for their transition out of sport through study is one of the ways we ensure athletes stay on-track. We see how study transforms our athletes, helping them to establish a dual career to have options for their future, whilst also helping them to bring focus and a balanced outlook to their sport. Study is an integral part to being able to create balance in elite athlete lives and helps to build confidence and a sense of purpose and identity in other areas of life. This is why we are so thrilled to have these higher education opportunities through OUA available to our athletes.
