High Performance

The High Performance program provided a range of services to enhance the high-performance programs of national sporting organisations:

• nineteen national sporting organisations received specific advice and support in the development or revision of their high-performance programs
• a further 13 sports were assisted by way of specific feedback and advice provided by the ASC’s sports consultants who were responsible for ongoing liaison with national sporting organisations
• three workshops were conducted with a total of 24 national sporting organisations to identify challenges and priorities to enhance high-performance outcomes and to share best practices among sports
• a sports science/sports medicine awareness campaign began in May 2002 to seek and share information about the most effective use of sports science/sports medicine services. Direct consultation occurred with 16 national sporting organisations. During the reporting period, plans were made for four group workshops for national sporting organisations to be held early in the new financial year, along with a final report and recommendations to be presented to the ASC Board.

Regular meetings were held with state institutes and academies of sport to encourage a more cooperative national approach. Two new programs were established in June 2002. One focuses on specific sports, with a series of advisory panels providing an opportunity for sports to receive advice from recognised world-class experts outside their own sport. The other focuses on specific issues and will investigate and document best practice approaches to high performance, then promote their wider application across Australian sport.
