Athletes are what the Institute is all about; they are the ultimate focus of all our activities at the Institute. The aim of the Institute is, in conjunction and constant consultation with the sports, to enhance and refine the environment which influences, supports, and ensures that Ireland's talented athletes will achieve sustained levels of excellence in elite International sport. There are a host of areas which the Institute has begun working with athletes on to enhance the performance environment; an education support programme, career development programme, lifestyle and personal planning support. The Institute has also taken over the Carding services from Coaching Ireland (formerly the National Coaching and Training Centre; NCTC) redesigning the process of sports science and medicine delivery to athletes. To find out more about what the Institute does for Athletes visit any of the pages in the Athlete Zone.
