High Performance Unit

About us

The first of its kind in NSW, The Endeavour Sports High Performance Unit (HPU) was established in 2020 to support the Targeted Sports Program at Endeavour Sports High School. The vision behind this initiative was to establish an integrated one-stop shop approach providing the students of these programs with the opportunity to access health and performance specialists, onsite, in the one place, before and during school hours.

The Endeavour Sports HPU provides sports medicine, sports science and strength and conditioning support to our student athletes, optimising and supporting their athletic development and performance need.

With its affiliation and partnerships with highly qualified, experienced and in demand professionals in their chosen fields, the HPU has assembled arguably one of the best teams anywhere in the country.
