Today’s guest is Ben Haines - PhD, who to Mark about the importance of setting up a sporting academy the right way to enable your athletes to flourish. Ben gives us an overview of how to do so from his extensive academy experience in Australia and around the world, and his proven track record of developing younger athletes into powerhouses of their sport.

Editors pick: Ben touches on building relationships both up and down the hierarchy of a sport to bring cohesion through the athlete development process from a physical stand-point, which enables the coaches to use best practices within the budgetary constraints.

A kind of king-maker in Australian sport, having produced a handful of the top AFL picks in recent years, Ben was kind enough to spare his time to chat to us about his career and experiences in the sports science industry.
