While sport is about fun and enjoyment, many people have a desire to improve their sporting performance, maximize their potential and possibly achieve publicly recognized success. Realizing these aspirations involves a combination of many factors such as ability, determination, opportunity and appropriate support.
For some this will stretch from the playground to the podium of sporting success. Sports performers testify that their success has not just been due to their own ability, but in order to reach their optimum performance they have relied upon the right mixture of a number of factors. Some of the most important factors, aside from personal ability, are coaching, competitions, facilities, high performance support and effective sport structures.
To complement these factors the Free State Department for Sport, Arts, Recreation & Culture has established the Free State Sport Science Institute (FSSSI) with the main aim to provide equitable access to quality sport science and injury rehabilitation services as well as talent development and high performance training programs.
The FSSSI specializes in a number of disciplines such as sport science, injury rehabilitation, sport nutrition & exercise synchronization, biomechanics & sport psychology. The disciplines are extremely dynamic and the FSSSI has highly sophisticated equipment that plays a vital role in assisting athletes and preparing them effectively for competition and thereby ultimately increasing their chances of success. The staff at FSSSI uses an integrated approach that allows a comprehensive support service that is tailored to suit the individual performance goals and specific needs of each athlete.
These services, programs and facilities of the FSSSI are specifically developed towards helping athletes, coaches and sport managers to realize their true potential through an affordable and accessible high performance service delivery system.
