Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

An Auckland University doctoral student says our high-performance athletes shouldn't have to choose between their sporting careers and their education.

Steve Roberts has been conducting this research by speaking to up-and-coming university athletes here and in the US - and says our athletes are missing out on educational opportunities because our universities and high-level sporting organisations aren't working together.

Auckland University doctoral student Steve Roberts joined Jack Tame.
