Lateral Think - Avish Sharma (PhD) is the current Victorian Institute of Sport Track and Field Performance Scientist (Physiology). His background includes posts at the AIS and with Triathlon Australian, where his research has centred on altitude training and performance optimisation. In this discussion we explore the attainment of performance, understanding the input of physiology and the complex nature of overall sports performance.  This is a great discussion with anyone looking to understand how we can enhance the capability of the people we work with.
