Athletics NS – Athletics NS is pleased to announce the Provincial Athletics Core Team for the 2017 Canada Games. The complete list can be found here.
The list compromises of athletes who have shown commitment and performance over the last season and have the potential to make the Canada Games Team in 2017.
At this point the list is not final and athletes have a chance to get added on after applying to the head coach as the season goes on.
The members of the Core Team will be invited to monthly sessions to receive information about the upcoming Games including sessions on Sport Nutrition and Mental Performance, in addition to event specific technical sessions.
“We have put together an extensive list of very talented athletes and our coaching staff and myself are excited to get to know them better. Our aim is to create a provincial team culture and include athletes and their personal coaches in the preparation for the Canada Games in 2017. The goal of our monthly training sessions is to provide the athletes with information and training that will help them prepare for the Canada Games and perform at their highest level while enjoying a great experience.” – Ueli Albert, Head Coach
