Mitchell Employed the Sydney Swans Head of Athletic Performance (Robert Inness) and the Head of Strength and Conditioning (Shane Lehane) into a unit of study (HESC1511 - Exercise Programs and Behavior) as casual academics to teach content within their expertise. Mitchell led a co-design process of the practical content with these industry professionals to ensure a positive experience for the students and to up-skill his own ability to provide authentic industry informed education in this space. Additionally, Mitchell arranged for Shane Lehane (Swans S&C), Sean O'Shae (S&C for multiple UFC athletes including Rob Whittaker) and Tea Maros (Swans Sport Scientist and UNSW Graduate) to provide a Seminar for the new Strength and Conditioning course at UNSW.
