SIDE students pursuing their elite sports ambitions travel, train and study. It is often a difficult combination. Former SIDE student, Olympic swimmer Tamsin Cook said recently when talking to the Elite Performance students.
“SIDE was a great help and allowed me to be very flexible around my training and travel and it really helped with me making the Olympic team . . . That’s the main reason why I transferred to SIDE so that I was able to travel and train for my sport and study at the same time.”
In Term 2, SIDE’s Elite performance students have demonstrated their management of this combination of training, competition, and study. SIDE is proud of their achievements and their ability to manage this high level of competition and, at the same time, maintain their online studies to a high level.
