Podium Performance with Kurt Downes – Designing the Athlete Development Pathway

How do we move athletes beyond participation and create pathways for long-term development and success?

Join us for an engaging and complementary workshop with Kurt Downes, Founder and Head Coach of Border City Athletics Club and an award-winning coach with extensive experience in athlete development.

This session will explore how coaches, clubs and sport leaders can:

• Build pathways that support long-term athlete development and performance.
• Understand how growth, maturation and individual readiness influence training and progression.
• Strengthen athlete retention through belonging, opportunity and support, particularly for girls in sport.
• Adapt programs to help athletes stay involved, develop and succeed.

With experience coaching Team Canada on 10 occasions, working at the university level and conducting doctoral research in athlete development and equity in sport, Downes brings a wealth of knowledge and practical insight.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect and strengthen athlete development across Island sport!
