Elite level sports coaching & professional education

Davies Sports has teamed up with Mike Phelan and David Horrocks to deliver a unique educational experience that will take students to the heart of professional sport. With over 60 years between them working within the elite professional sports environment, Mike and David can showcase to students the different career avenues available outside of professional athletes.

Through lecture, seminar, practical and on field coaching, Davies Sports works with students to realise the reality of how a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) operates in preparation for the highest levels of professional football. The Davies Sports Inside Professional Sport experience takes students right through the MDT operation and discuss, opportunities, pathways and careers available and provide advice on the decisions or options lingering as they move through the educational to workplace landscape.
