Helping athletes convert their success to coaching
Two-time Olympic gold medallist Katrina Powell says high performance athletes have a great “head-start” when it comes to coaching and she welcomes the AIS focus on helping athletes convert that “apprenticeship” into successful coaching careers.
Powell will speak alongside Olympic gold medallist Ken Wallace (sprint canoe) and Paralympic gold medallist Brad Ness (wheelchair basketball) about the “Transition from Athlete to Coach” at the AIS World Class to World Best Conference February 23-24.
The AIS recently launched the National High Performance Coach Development Taskforce which aims to make Australia the world leader in modern high performance coaching development before the end of the decade. Helping athletes make the successful transition to coaching features strongly.
