Two of Exeter University's sports coaches will be working to prepare Britain's athletes for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
Director of badminton Helen Ward, who also trains the England Under-15s, and women's rugby coach Jo Yapp have been chosen to join the Aspire programme to further develop their expertise.
The programme is also a chance to network with other sports coaches and share ideas and best practice.
