What do we need to get there?

Step 4

Identify resources needed to take actions that will help your sport achieve the participation objectives.

Considerations

• What human, financial, physical and intellectual resources does your sport require to achieve its objectives?
• How will your sport prioritise its participation objectives? What objectives are critical, important or desirable and how can the variables (e.g. actions, resources or timing) be adjusted to achieve your participation objectives?
• Does your sport have enough of the right people, in the right environment with enough financial and other resources and systems to get the job done?
• Who must do what by when to accomplish and drive the participation objectives? What are their roles and responsibilities?
• Do you have support from your CEOs/Boards? Don't create an unattainable wish list.
