EIS Equality Action Plan
The English Institute of Sport (EIS) understands the issues and barriers faced by under-represented groups. It is the responsibility of the organisation to identify and address any such areas where under-representation is an issue and ensure it is doing everything in its power to address these issues and barriers.
At the EIS we deliver a range of performance impacting sport science, sport medicine, technology and engineering solutions to over 40 Olympic and Paralympic sports along with a select number of non-Olympic sports, including Premier League Football, Premiership Rugby Union, Rugby League and Cricket.
Improving performance is at the core of everything we do and our practitioners work daily with coaches and athletes as part of their elite performance programmes. We work in multi-disciplinary teams to provide a holistic service that supports coaches and Performance Directors (PDs) in helping to improve the training, preparation and performance of their athletes.
What we do enables athletes to optimise training and practice; assists athletes to achieve peak performance at major tournaments, enables athletes and coaches to prevent, reduce and manage injuries; helps athletes and coaches to manage pressure and stress; and deploys performance enhancing technology, insight and analysis to enable athletes to develop strategies and tactics for competition.
Having a network of more than 250 practitioners and a host of external associates that work daily with high-performance sport means the EIS possesses an unrivalled web of expertise. It enables practitioners to seek advice, share knowledge and call upon capabilities, from inside and outside of the organisation, to help them address issues or problems and develop performance solutions.
We are the team behind the team.
