The Talented Athlete Academy (TAA) is a sports excellence initiative aimed at talented sporting students at MCSS. The TAA program was established to support athletes while studying at MCSS and to provide specialised learning opportunities.
The sporting program is designed to enhance the sporting performance of students selected, by developing a holistic approach to their athletic development. A successful athlete needs to focus not only on skill development but nutrition, goal setting, motivation, correct recovery, leadership, injury prevention and rehabilitation, cross training and tactics strategy.
As part of the TAA program, students can look forward to a range of unique experiences, including:
- CISAC recovery sessions
- Sports leadership training
- Professional coaching observation seminars
- Advanced fitness testing
- Sports injury seminars
- Comprehensive fitness coaching & training
- Attendance at major sporting events
- Athlete mentoring and focused goal-setting sessions
