 The Griffith Sports College was designed to help the academics of elite athletes in the university environment for their success in both their study and their sport. The Griffith Sports College is all about helping elite athletes balance their academic and sporting life. It makes academic life possible for an elite athlete who's striving to go to the Olympic Games or be a professional athlete. We certainly understand the pressure of an athlete, whether it be a young teenager or whether it be an elite professional athlete as well. We love to put strategies in place to help alleviate that and to get the most out of the athlete. A balanced academic life will help an elite athlete to be in a better headspace for their sport. A university workload in itself is very stressful and when you couple that with the load of an elite athlete and the amount of hours they train, it almost doubles the stress on the athlete. We offer elite athletes a number of benefits including scheduling your timetable so that you can fit in your elite sport, deferring exams and assessment. We work directly with teaching staff and academic staff to deliver something that is more flexible for elite athletes. With the amount of experience we've got as former elite athletes, we're quite happy to mentor and assist athletes that are having any sort of questions or issues with their sport and their study. We want to help them with advice in and around workload, when to focus on sport, when to choose academics and when the two can work really well together. If you're an elite athlete that wants to train in an amazing place like South East Queensland, Griffith Uni has got the support services to allow you to study and keep training.
