  10. Ingredients Necessary for Success in HP • Adequate resources with appropriate targeting and prioritisation to achieve quality results • Having the right people in the right positions • Having a coordinated and integrated system with minimal duplication

  11. Elements Critical for Success in HP • Clear delineation of roles and responsibilities • Simplicity of administration with limited bureaucracy and duplication • Provision of services creating a culture of excellence • Well structured competitive programs • Access to well developed and specific international and national standard facilities

  12. Success Elements Con’t • An effective system that incorporates critical analysis and monitoring • Adequate funding to ensure quality outcomes • Comprehensive planning and individualisation for each sport’s needs • Lifestyle support and preparation for life after sport

  13. Positive Elements • There is potential to develop a world class system that is sustainable • We have some very good people working in the system • Critical analysis and monitoring of performance is starting to occur (accountability) • There is an increased focus on targeting and prioritisation

  14. Positive Elements Con’t • There is momentum and will to improve and change the system • There is a renewed focus on excellence in this country • Key stakeholders and funding partners are united with a shared vision (COC, Sport Canada, CPC)

  15. Challenges • There is an uncoordinated system that is not integrated currently • The system is overly complex (silos) • There is a lack of resources compared to our competitors (particularly in program, service and coach support) • There is a lack of access to national and international standard facilities

  16. Challenges Con’t • The Coaching environment needs to be improved • There are not enough highly qualified support service experts for the country • Canadian Sport Centres need to move to an Institute model which is facility based

  17. Chart comparing CSCs (Canadian Sport Centres) and CSIs (Canadian Sport Institutes)

  18. Challenges Con’t • Performance Technology is an area that could be used more effectively • We need to clearly delineate roles and responsibilities across the board • There continues to be fluctuation in the vision, willingness and ability of the NSO to support high performance

  19. Challenges Con’t • There is little vertical integration (NSO, PSO, Regional and Club level) • Political will to resource a quality national high performance system is lacking

  20. ‘It’s not the strongest or the most intelligent that survives but the most responsive to change.’Charles Darwin

  21. RTE Priorities • Coaching and technical leadership • Increasing training and competition opportunities • Enhancing support services • Increasing capacity of NSO’s

  22. The Podium Canada Post 2010 Working Group identified several specific recommendations for future implementation.

  23. Organizational Matters • Name Change to Own the Podium (RTE and OTP) • The primary roles of Own the Podium: • Focus on national high performance technical matters • Build a stronger more effective national high performance sport system for targeted sports

  24. Organizational Matters Con’t National performance goals for the 2012 Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games need to be re-evaluated post Games and regularly monitored. Strategic priorities for OTP will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis and will be aligned with available financial resources.

  25. Organizational Matters Con’t OTP will investigate the creation of a legally incorporated organization A financial plan for OTP (both summer and winter sorts) needs to be developed, which indicates the level of support required to 2014.

  26. Financial Matters Con’t Funding for winter and summer Olympic and Paralympic sports based on medal potential and will reflect a top down targeted and prioritized approach focused on excellence. All national funding partners (Sport Canada, COC, CPC, and Corporate Partners) will designate their high performance funding for targeted sports to the OTP recommendation process.

  27. Programming Matters All excellence focused programs for targeted sports delivered by national partners will be integrated into OTP planning and implementation processes. The roles of the COC, CPC, CSC’s and Sport Canada in high performance sport need to be better defined and adjusted in light of the desirability of OTP to be the single point of contact for targeted NSO’s on high performance matters

  28. Programming Matters Con’t COC and CPC will continue to lead and coordinate delivery of programs focused on “at Games” and “Games Mission” initiatives at the Olympic and Paralympic Games respectively. Sport Canada’s Athlete Assistance Program and policies should be reviewed and modified, within Treasury Board policies and requirements, to better meet Canada’s high performance objectives. These responsibilities need to be discussed further.

  29. ‘Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results’ Albert Einstein
