2020 Target Talent Program - Coaching Position Applications Open

The Target Talent Program (TTP) is the highest tier of the Academy and is funded and directed by Athletics Australia, via Athletics South Australia. TTP is the early identification element of Athletics Australia's High-Performance Department.

The aim of this program is to encourage and develop the best young athletes around the country, by providing them with an opportunity to train with other talented athletes, learn from professionals and to interact with their personal coach and other TTP personal coaches in a training environment.

The TTP is a program designed to complement the current daily training environment of developing, high performing athletes. Athletics South Australia encourages athletes, personal coaches and the TTP Coach to work together to assist in the development of young athletes.

The program in 2020 will consist of the following, the appointed TTP Coaches will have valuable input at every session.

Coaches Breakfast 8.00am – 9.00am (Breakfast Supplied)

Education Session: 9.00am – 11.00am

Practical Session: 11.00am – 1.00pm

Athletics South Australia values the time commitment, skills and experience of the coaches and in turn can pay the coaches $35 per hour for the sessions.
 

The role of the coach throughout the program is to work collaboratively with the other TTP Coaches, Personal Coaches, athletes and Athletics South Australia.

• Coaches will be expected to develop an 8-week program for their event group. We encourage the coaches to make use of the Athletics Australia curriculum and integrate it into the program.

• Coaches will be expected to develop a brief entrance and exit report for all athletes based on reporting tools provided by Athletics South Australia.

• Coaches will be expected to approach the program with an open mind and be willing to communicate with all stakeholders.
