Top sports

Athletes on the elite sports program must learn to think like an elite athlete. This involves taking responsibility for their own development, being analytical, and seeking out knowledge about what it takes to become good at their sport. 

Here you will learn how to optimize your training efforts and increase the quality of your training sessions. Optimization is about being able to plan content, perform training at the right intensity, and take necessary measures for recovery.

We also work on strengthening mental skills to perform better under pressure through work with visualization and experience sharing. 

In top sports, you will have much of your training with a club/coach outside of school. At school, you will have program training in the strength and fitness rooms, either alone or together with fellow students. Each week, there are also joint sessions such as circuit training, which you can join if it fits in with other training plans.  

In addition to our competent teachers, who all have experience from top-level sports themselves, we bring in speakers and visit environments, such as Olympiatoppen, for additional information and input on relevant topics for those of you who want to focus all your energy on sports.

On this line, large parts of Oslo's sports environment are used every single week. Oslo has fantastic facilities and opportunities for all sports. Our students train at places such as: Bislett Stadium, Olympiatoppen, Valhall Arena, Holmenkollen, Ekeberghallen, Lillomarka Arena, Tøyenbadet, Sognsvann and Voldsløkka. 

Nordmarka is the closest neighbor. Here the conditions are ideal, with kilometers of trails for all seasons.
There is also a good chance that you will meet the occasional top Norwegian athlete while you train.

Linja is suitable for those who want to fully focus on their sport. Here, everything is arranged to focus on your goals while everything from housing, food and an inclusive community is provided. You must be serious and have a real desire to seek development and improvement in everything that top sports life entails. It is expected that you as a student at Toppidrett do the necessary research yourself and connect with clubs/teams in your specific sport in Oslo.
