MISSION VISION & PRINCIPLES
It all started in September 1999 in Sydney, Australia when a group of High Performance Training Centres from all over the world decided to combine efforts to share their experiences during the 1st Forum on Elite Sport. During the II Forum on Elite Sport, held in September 2001 at CAR Sant Cugat, Barcelona, it was commonly agreed by consensus that joining forces and sharing our experiences must be a direct benefit for athletes and centres around the world.
