High Performance In Schools - Creating a Successful Development Pathway
Session Description
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in high-performance sport, Arj Perera explores the design and delivery of effective school-based high-performance programs. With the majority of athletes supported being of school age, the presentation examines the rapid growth of these programs and the opportunities they provide for talented young athletes, while highlighting common challenges that can limit both student development and program success. Participants will gain practical insights into establishing well-structured, sustainable high-performance programs that support athlete development in a safe, effective and educationally appropriate environment.
