WestVic Scholarship High Performance Day
On Monday 25 August, the WestVic scholarship holders and a number of elite sport athletes attended a High Performance Day in Ballarat. The day began at Federation University’s High Performance Centre, where athletes completed a series of fitness tests, toured the facilities and attended a presentation on the attributes of high-performing athletes.
The group then travelled to the RAD centre for a strength and conditioning session before finishing at 360Vital. Here, athletes tested and experienced some of the latest recovery equipment including infrared saunas, compression boots and the low-pulsed electromagnetic technology recovery bed.
Days like this provide an incredible opportunity for our youth athletes to experience what high-performance sport looks like first hand. From elite training to advanced recovery, the day gave them a real insight into the dedication and mindset required to succeed at the highest level.
