The CommsHub
The Communications Centre for the Performance Under Demand Think Tank
The Think Tank is the home for influential discussion on international developments in "under demand" performance support
News from The World of Sport
Here you will find some of the latest stories of interest from the world of sport.
Items here may take the form of briefing material relating to major issues or incidents that arise in high performance environments. This material can be offered to groups providing commentary about high performance environments to ensure that a balanced, informed view is available from the scientific perspective of performance enhancement and the wholistic perspective of athlete and support staff personal welfare.
We will eventually build commentary around key stories, and develop this feature as a Think Tank official reply or discussion piece generator.
