SEE Port Adelaide defender Jackson Trengove go wheel-to-wheel with World Champion cyclist Anna Meares during a visit to the Adelaide Super-Drome.
Port Adelaide’s young players were treated to a tour of the Australian Institute of Sport’s Track Cycling Program national headquarters during the week leading up to their Round 18 Bye.
Port Adelaide Head Fitness Coach Cameron Falloon says it was a valuable experience for the footballers to learn about the preparation and commitment made by athletes who are the best in the world.
The players toured the Gepps Cross facility and chatted with Anna and her World Champion Team Sprint partner Kaarle McCulloch, before testing their fitness on the state-of-the art equipment.
But it was Jackson who braved the slopes of the velodrome.
