“Exceptional Performance Teams – the Key to Success in Brisbane 2032 and Beyond”

As we strive to achieve our best ever outcomes at the Brisbane 2032 Paralympic and Olympic Games, Australia’s high-performance sport system (HPSS) is undergoing a transformative journey. The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) has taken the lead in developing a groundbreaking sector-wide strategy with a vision to “Win well and inspire Australians.” One of the core pillars of this strategy is the pursuit of “World Class Knowledge and Practice” within our Performance Teams, encompassing athletes, coaches, performance support staff, carers, and guides.

Bill led the development of this pillar, harnessing the expertise of some of Australia’s most innovative and successful performance team members. During our upcoming event, Bill will delve into the defining characteristics outlined in the strategy and discuss their implications for the professional development of practitioners over the next decade on the ‘Green & Gold Runway’ leading up to Brisbane.
