British Triathlon North East Region Junior Performance Academy 2011
After the hard work of the coaches, athletes, parents and volunteers during 2010 some fantastic progress has been made in identifying and developing junior talent in our region.
In 2011 it is hoped to build on the progress made and aim to help talented juniors fulfil their potential in local, regional and National competition.
In order to progress during 2011 the aim is to maximise the opportunity for local youngsters to become involved in the performance programme. Therefore North East Triathlon be working with individuals, clubs, schools and parents to monitor progress throughout the year.
They will continue to use the benchmark criteria as set down by Triathlon England and will select the performance squad from the athletes who are consistently performing at the highest level and show the ability & desire to succeed in the sport of Triathlon.
The squad will meet regularly for group training sessions throughout the year including specific race preparation sessions, benchmarking and testing, strength & conditioning sessions, race season and annual training plans.
The criteria for measuring performance are detailed in the form below.
If you would like to be considered for the squad or would like to nominate an athlete please forward your name, contact details, club/ school contact and times for your relevant distances in the attached form to Regional Performance co-ordinator Alan Copland at alan@3vme.co.uk or Academy head coach Colin Gardner at colin.gardener@virgin.net
