Creating a performance driven environment where high expectations challenge all personnel to reflect the aspirations of MANUKURA is a constant. Sports science is one of the many areas the programme encompasses into the daily expectations of the athletes lives. MANUKURA is a high performance lifestyle and therefore behaviours that detract from this lifestyle are not tolerated. Our main focus is to grow people through sport using it as a catalyst to achieve academic and sporting success always with the focus of being successful Māori role models as a key ingredient. Our goal is to identify and develop sporting talent, and ensure athletes have the skills and resources they need to produce, nurture and support their academic and sporting aspirations.
