THE University of South Australia will bring former Socceroos and Sydney Swans strength and conditioning Coach Nik Hagicostas to Mount Gambier tomorrow to present a free public lecture on injury prevention and recovery.
The visit is an opportunity for athletes in all sports, parents, coaches, trainers and anyone interested in sport to listen to a world class coach and ask questions.
