Rohan Taylor (AUS) - Building Successful Performance Service Teams:
In 2008, I was employed at Nunawading Swimming Club to set up and manage a High Performance Programme that included:
• 20 open-level athletes working towards national and international representation.
• 20 national age athletes, 13-16 years old, developing towards national and international representation.
• 24 x 12 and under athletes who have been talent identified with the key characteristics to develop towards national age group then open-level performances.
• Key performance service providers to enhance the development and performance of the athletes and coaches.
The role required the set up of a number of key components within the performance pathway of the Nunawading programme that would ensure that the environment and coaches were focused on world’s best practice.
Nunawading now has in place an overall system that allows all support service and coaches to drive innovation, resources and knowledge to coaches and athletes on a daily basis, ensuring that each athlete has in place the world's best coaching and support.
