Frequently Asked Questions

Our ‘Applied Basics’ curriculum is specifically designed to bridge the gap between elite performance and grassroots sport. Whether you are an aspiring professional athlete, a dedicated coach, a medical practitioner, or a parent supporting a young athlete, these toolkits provide accessible, world-class frameworks that were previously reserved for the pinnacle of the industry.

Yes. Upon successful completion of any Science Behind Sport course, you will be issued an institutional certificate to recognise your mastery of the subject matter. These certificates serve as a professional testament to your commitment to evidence-led, clinical standards in sport.

Once you have purchased a course, you will have lifetime access to all video modules and downloadable frameworks. This allows you to revisit the technical protocols and data-driven toolkits whenever you need to refresh your knowledge or apply a specific strategy to a new performance scenario.

Not at all. While the expertise delivered is at the Olympic and professional level, our mission is to make this data understandable and actionable. We strip away unnecessary jargon and focus on ‘Applied Basics’—practical frameworks that can be implemented immediately, regardless of your previous background in sports science.

Absolutely. Every module within our courses is built upon peer-reviewed research and validated clinical protocols. We do not deal in "opinion-based" coaching; we provide the same objective, data-backed frameworks used by our founders to deliver medal-winning success at the highest levels of global sport.
