At the highest level of elite sport, winning margins are at their finest. That’s why everything we do at High Performance Sport NZ is designed to give athletes and coaches the edge. We work in partnership with National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) to make performances that microsecond faster or millimetre further, to put more New Zealanders on the podium.
We’re proud to be the team behind the team. Our front line experts, in collaboration with NSOs provide elite athletes and coaches with holistic support that’s tailored to their precise needs. This gives them the best possible chance to perform at their peak and succeed on the world stage.
We identify difficulties that athletes, sports and systems are experiencing - and use innovative solutions to achieve measurable performance improvements.
We devise athlete-focused, coach-led and performance-driven training programmes to ensure athletes are in perfect condition for major competitions.
Providing athletes with the physical, tactical and psychological skills needed to produce medal-winning performances when it matters.
We find ways to reduce the chances of injury and illness - two of the biggest obstacles to success our athletes face.
We provide sports, coaches and athletes with the best possible support package, delivered by the finest practitioners in world-class environments.
Our Athlete Development programme supports athletes who we expect to win medals at Paris 2024 and Beijing 2026 targeting future World, Olympic and Paralympic success.
