Elite sport and education

Combining elite sport and education is always a challenge. Yet we believe learning is just as important as performing. Education is part of elite sport. You work on your results and on your future.

That’s why we ensure that schooling and training align as smoothly as possible. We collaborate with various schools and educational programmes, and some lessons are even taught at Papendal so no time is lost travelling.

If the balance between sport and study becomes difficult, the study intermediary can provide support. This adviser understands both the elite sports environment and the education system, and helps determine what is needed.

A trusted place

Living accommodations are an important part of elite sport, especially for young athletes. That’s why we offer several housing options for athletes who train at Papendal. Young talents can stay in on site rooms close to the training facilities, while older athletes can choose accommodation in the surrounding area or in the city of Arnhem.

The rooms are designed to support rest, recovery and learning. There are shared spaces where athletes can meet, study or relax. And for breakfast, lunch and dinner, they can visit the High Performance Restaurant.

Some housing locations also have staff members on site who offer support in areas such as mental wellbeing and study guidance. This makes it easy for athletes to drop by whenever they need help.
