At the Sylvan Adams Sports Science Institute (SASSI) we are dedicated to advancing high-performance sport through cutting-edge academic research. Our institute is a world-leading facility that, through its relationships with local and national sport organizations, aims to transfer sport science research findings directly to the athletes, coaches, and support staff for whom it matters most. Situated in the heart of McGill University, SASSI has a unique network of academic research experts in a variety of disciplines. We are also committed to developing the next generation of sport researchers through our annual student fellowship competition, speaking opportunities, and mentorship from our full time SASSI members.
