Sporting Partnerships

Loughborough University
The Laurus Trust is the first ever educational trust to be partnered with the world-renowned Loughborough University.
Loughborough is one of the country’s leading universities with unrivalled achievements in sport, an international reputation for research, excellence in teaching and strong links with industry.
As a 5* QS rated university, it has been named the best university in the world for sports-related subjects in the world university rankings.
In addition to the work with our student-athletes, Laurus Trust GCSE and A Level students will have the opportunity to access Loughborough University’s state-of-the-art facilities.

Youth Sport Nutrition
Youth Sport Nutrition (YSN) is the official nutritional provider of the ELITE Pathway. YSN is passionate about helping athletes understand how diet and nutrition play a vital role in performance and recovery – especially at the age of our student-athletes.
As part of this official partnership, every ELITE Pathway student will have direct access to an online nutritionist and receive significant discounts on YSN products and services.

Working With Parents In Sport
Working With Parents In Sport (WWPIS) supports the parents and carers of our student-athletes, helping them work effectively with their children to fulfil their potential – both in and out of sport.
WWPIS works globally with sporting organisations, providing unbiased information and support while recognising the challenges that parents and carers face in today’s world. Parents and carers of our ELITE Pathway student-athletes will have direct access to WWPIS podcasts, journals, books, and research.
WWPIS will also visit the Laurus Trust to host an evening with our parents and carers. We passionately believe that schools, parents and carers, and students must work in unison to deliver the best possible outcomes.

Sporting Wellness
Sporting Wellness supports our young athletes aged 16 and above with their mental well-being. It has never been more important to remove the stigmas associated with mental health.
Our student-athletes can access support and make contact completely anonymously. Do not suffer in silence – the pressures of competing in high-level sport are vast. If you need support, reach out.

219 Sports
219 Sports guides the next generation of student-athletes towards scholarship opportunities across the United States of America. With a proven track record, a hands-on approach, and an extensive network of college coaches, providing life-changing opportunities is at the heart of everything they do. Founded and built by former student-athletes who understand the importance of each step in the journey, 219 Sports is here to help you reach your academic and sporting potential.

SHARP Training Systems
With SHARP’s testing and profiling systems, athletes can put their physical performance to the test and compare themselves against benchmarks drawn from thousands of elite, world-class, and recreational data sets. Tom and his team will work with our student-athletes to assess athletic performance and support injury prevention.
