YOUR TEAM

Become part of the team

From amateur sports enthusiasts to professional athletes, from up-and-coming talent to experienced leaders, from ice-hockey players to footballers – our team is as diverse as the sports industry itself. Our programme of studies is designed to be flexible enough to be adapted to any individual life path.

However, discretion is very important to us, as some of our students need to keep the information that they are studying to themselves for the time being, often for career reasons. That means that, unfortunately, we cannot introduce you to all your future colleagues here. However, we are looking forward to welcoming you to our team soon.
