The training venue to the athlete is what the office is to the aspiring CEO - a place where elite sportspeople go to perfect their craft, hone their skills and connect with their team and trainers.

Yet, in the highly competitive world of professional sport, can decisions taken during the design of training venues really determine a team’s long-term shot at victory?

From personalisation to community use, social media partnerships and the rise of female and disabled sports, learn about the evolution of training venues in this week’s episode, where Head of Sport Gavin Elliott is joined by Architect Director Andrew Capewell and Ardent Sports Founder and MD Nick Smith, best known for his work with UFC, UEFA and Munster Rugby.
