Personal Development
Whilst enhancement of game day performance is seemingly the primary goal of the Dragons Academy, it remains only a mere component of the program itself.
Becoming an elite athlete involves diligence and dedication in multiple aspects towards preparation, performance, and recovery; it’s about having a balanced lifestyle which considers sleep, recovery, injury management and general wellbeing.
To support this growth, The Dragons Academy provides a series of educational workshops that players will undertake, including:
- Performance
- Nutrition, Hydration and Supplements
- Sleep & Recovery & Injury Management
- Education
- Pursuit in careers of interest outside of Rugby League
- Identity
- Knowing yourself, Values & Goals
- Social
- Social Media & Communications
- Friends, Family & Community
- Evolve
- Being an Elite Athlete & Professional Compliance
Academy participants will readily have access to identical programs provided to those of our NRL stars, undertaken by experts whose purpose is to benefit the lifestyle habits of our young individuals, internally and within the community.
St George Illawarra Dragons respect and honour the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples, where our games are played, our programs are conducted and in the communities we support.
