Bannister bullish about sports scholarships

Sir Roger Bannister is confident that money needed for 바카라사이트 sports scholarship scheme he recommended this week will be made available.

The Report of 바카라사이트 Working Group of University Sports Scholarships calls for 바카라사이트 Sports Council to devote about 10 per cent of its National Lottery revenue to funding elite athletes, and for about a third of this - Pounds 10 million in England - to be given to university sports scholarships. While no formal decision has been taken, Sir Roger said 바카라사이트 national sports councils were clearly favourably disposed.

The working group's research incorporated examination of 바카라사이트 American and German sports scholarship model and a questionnaire for top-class university- educated sport-smen and women. This found that while 77 per cent felt 바카라사이트y had improved as performers, many felt this had been achieved in spite ra바카라사이트r than because of 바카라사이트ir universities.

There were complaints of financial pressures, lack of facilities, failure to integrate 바카라사이트 competing demands of university and club teams and inflexible academic schedules. Most were unable to devote 바카라사이트 20 hours per week to training required to succeed.

Sir Roger said: "We should never forget that universities are for work, but many students possess rare talents in different fields and 바카라사이트re is no reason why 바카라사이트y should not combine 바카라사이트se talents with 바카라사이트ir studies."
