Athlete Performance and Sport System Targets, Evaluation, and Investment Page 0
Introduction and Mandate Canadian Sport Policy and Excellence The Canadian Sport Policy (CSP, 2002) identifies the future direction for sport in Canada in the area of excellence through its stated goal... “It is the goal of the Canadian Sport Policy that by 2012 ...The pool of talented Canadian athletes has expanded and Canadian athletes and teams are systematically achieving world-class results at the highest levels of international competition through fair and ethical means.” The policy outlines general goals for athlete performance and the sport system. A consequence of the lack of specific, clearly articulated goals has been that varying views prevail in the sport community and in governments with regards to investment in sport and the achievement of success, measured by podium performances at international competitions. One view is that governments should invest in sport with the specific objective of achieving podium results. A second view is that governments should invest in sport because it is the right thing to do, with the understanding that international success will be only one of the outcomes of this investment, in addition to the many other benefits (health, education, social, self esteem, training, volunteer development etc.). These views, however, do not necessarily oppose each other. The merit and rationale underlying the Excellence objectives of expanding the talent pool and achieving podium results at international competition have been studied before and are more fully presented elsewhere (Mills, 1998, MPWGS, 2000; 2001a, 2001b). Furthermore, there is a sense that action, rather than further study is required. Therefore, these arguments will not be examined in this report. Rather, the focus of this report will be on the actions, as mandated by Federal–Provincial/Territorial Plan for Collaborative Action 2002-2005. Mandate of Federal-Provincial/Territorial Work Group # 4 on Excellence The mandate of Federal-Provincial/Territorial Sport Committee (FPTSC) Work Group #4 on Excellence was to carry out the following specific actions as outlined in the Federal– Provincial/Territorial Plan for Collaborative Action 2002-2005: 1. Establish targets to evaluate athlete performance and the effectiveness of Canada’s sport system and develop a process for measuring progress towards achieving these targets (January 2003). These targets will provide guidance on factors including: • identification and nurturing of talented athletes and teams; • training and competitive opportunities for the next generation of high performance athletes; • employment and working conditions of qualified coaches working full-time with high performance athletes; and • offering essential services, in English and French, to national team athletes and coaches, and to national/international-level officials.
