WHO ARE WE?

The English Institute of Sport is at the forefront of the quiet revolution that will change the face of sport in this country. It is a nationwide network of world class support services, designed to foster the talents of our elite athletes.

Services are offered from nine regional multi-sport hub sites and an evolving network of satellite centres.

High Performance training venues are the platform for success but the EIS is more than mere bricks and mortar. It is about winning hearts and minds. Led by Steve Cram, the former world mile record holder and Olympic medallist, it is a dynamic, pro-active organisation dedicated to realising the potential of the modern competitor.

The strategy and ethos of the EIS is set by its national team. The services are delivered by a co-ordinated network of regional teams which feature complementary skills and experience.

The range of services supplied by the EIS spans sports science and sports medicine. Support includes applied physiology, biomechanics, medical consultation, medical screening, nutritional advice, performance analysis, psychology, podiatry, strength and conditioning coaching, sports massage and sports vision. The Performance Lifestyle programme provides supplementary career and education advice.

The quality of the delivery is assured by the close relationship the EIS is developing with national governing bodies, performance directors, coaches, and the athletes themselves. Almost 2,000 competitors are currently in the EIS system.

Funded by Grant funding, the EIS operates under the chairmanship of Steve Cram. His team includes seven EIS regional managers, chosen for their depth of knowledge of the system. All embody the EIS ethos - making the best better.
