Skate Australia Performance Pathways: National Talent ID Scan 

Through the National Talent ID Scan, we are looking to identify and select Australia’s future elite skaters for a 2024 national development program commencing in late February.

 

The purpose of this program is to support Australian skateboarders to grow, develop and potentially transition to becoming a high-performance athlete competing for Team Australia on the world stage.   

 

Program participants will have access to:

• Coaching – Regular in-person or remote online coaching depending on where in the country you are based. Coaching will occur after school hours.

• Individual performance plan – Completed with one of our Skate Australia coaches to ensure you are on a positive path with your skateboarding skills, competition preparation, well-being, and all other areas that will help you develop as a skateboarder and person.

• Development camps – Intensive technical training, competition preparation and practice, physical assessment, development of a cohesive sense of ‘team’ and culture, parental education.

• High-performance education – Learn about sports nutrition, physical preparation, performance mindset, and wellbeing.

 

Please note: If you already have a coach, this program will serve to complement your current coaching environment. While you will not be expected to attend all training sessions, our Skate Australia coach will work with your coach to complete your individual performance plan and identify key program aspects (e.g., camps, key training sessions etc.) for you to attend that you will benefit from.
