Loughborough University and Army Sport have announced a new strategic partnership designed to enhance high-performance sporting opportunities for Army personnel.
As part of the agreement, Army Sport colleagues will gain access to Loughborough’s renowned sporting facilities for training, competitive fixtures, and flagship events.
The partnership also opens the door to broader joint initiatives, including collaborative coach development and knowledge sharing on all aspects of high-performance leadership.
There will also be shared research and innovation projects, thought leadership workshops, and direct student engagement with the Army’s career opportunities.
