Performance Programs

The Performance Program pillar within the ASDC – Calgary region consists of two programs; the Athlete Enhancement Program & the Coach Enhancement Program.  The success of these programs are a result of the close relationship between the provincial sport association and a strategically formed Integrated Support Team (IST) - a multidisciplinary group comprised of experts in five crucial areas of performance including Sport Science, Sport Medicine, Sport Psychology, Nutrition and Biomechanics.

The Athlete & Coach Enhancement Programs are designed to support provincial team athletes & training groups in the Calgary region by enhancing the sport science services available to each group. The ASDC – Calgary Region will work with both world-class professional service providers and the High Performance Coach or Technical Director of the Provincial Sport Association to identify areas of need within each training group. The athletes, coaches and sport experts are able to plan strategically as a team, pushing past limitations to realize the full performance potential of both the coach & athlete at the provincial /or National level.
