We create the conditions for developing as an athlete and pursuing a dual career that supports success in sport. During a long career in high-performance sport, an athlete can pursue a dual career as a professional athlete, combining sport and studies or sport and work.
Our goal is to create high-quality and diversified training opportunities for young, talented, and elite athletes in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Sport federations, local sports clubs, and educational institutions share responsibility for coaching and its development at Metropolitan Sports Academy Urhea.
For us, success as an athlete means success in sport and life.
We’re committed to advancing coaching through collaboration and knowledge-sharing between different sports. We bring together coaches from different disciplines to exchange valuable insights and provide opportunities for athletes to participate in joint training sessions with their peers from other sports.
