COLLABORATION BETWEEN PANTHERS AND NTU

Nottingham Panthers and Nottingham Trent University are excited to announce a new dynamic collaboration between the two organisations.

It follows the announcement in the summer of a special partnership which has seen a number of Panthers players attend the university's business school to study a postgraduate degree.

This latest partnership will transform the link between academia and professional sports to benefit both organisations.

NTU Sport Science and Management students will gain valuable hands-on experience in a professional sports setting, combining practical application with their studies. It will offer students first-hand experience, developing skills applicable across a range of careers.

For the Nottingham Panthers, the collaboration brings academic expertise, cutting-edge facilities, and fresh perspectives to enhance team performance and operations.

Business Development for the Panthers, Jordan Kelsall, said: "Having access to the expertise and facilities at NTU will help optimise our performance and reduce injury risk.

"It's a great opportunity for us to inspire and mentor the next generation of sports professionals."

NTU Sport Science Associate Professor, Ian Varley, said: "We are thrilled to partner with the Nottingham Panthers.

"This initiative not only underscores our commitment to providing experiential learning opportunities, it also demonstrates how a university and professional sports can work together to achieve mutual success."
