Having people in positions who understand the workings of high-performance activities is important. It’s the vision, expertise and passion of these individuals that will make the change
Coaches are not just professors, they are also coaches, incentives and strategists.  ,
Technical professionals work behind the scenes to maintain players are optimised in every aspect of their education. A biomechanics consultant, for example, can assess the effectiveness of one’s strokes and competition plan through data, and define weak points that can help an athlete cut off those few precious milliseconds between finishing on a podium or not.
A veterinarian ensures an adult’s system is correctly fuelled to support wealthy training. Michael Phelps- the most decorated Olympic of all time- was reportedly told to eat 8, 000 to 10, 000 calories a evening, about five times more than an ordinary person.
Then there are sleeping specialists, whose jobs are to maintain athletes getting enough sleep by analysing their sleeping cycles and identifying disruptions caused by teaching schedules, tension, stress, diet or travel.  ,
These are but a few specialists that a single athlete needs to work with. Their work may not make headlines, but it directly impacts how fast an athlete runs or swims, how quickly they recover and how consistently they perform. I believe that it’s their expertise that will give our athletes an edge and help elevate Singapore sport on the global stage.
