“We are confident that our Junior athletes are ready to perform in Sofia. The Pan American
Championships served as an opportunity to plan, prepare, execute, and now adjust for the World
Taekwondo event.” said Dr. Allan Wrigley, High Performance Director for Taekwondo Canada. “In Costa
Rica, we challenged the team to focus on the process and pathway to performance. We are going to
continue to emphasize this in Sofia, as we are looking for how these athletes are going to set themselves
up for continual improvement in future years, not just on the results that they are able to achieve in the
moment.”
The team will further be supported by the Team Leader/Manager Dr. Allan Wrigley, Head of Team Kee
Ha, and Trainer Yohan Chang, along with Athletic Therapist Rick Lau.
