TARGET TALENT PROGRAM
The Target Talent Program (TTP) is Athletics Australia’s (AA’s) early talent identification strand of their High-Performance Pathway Strategy. In Western Australia, the program is managed and delivered by the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) in accordance with AA principles, with valued support from Athletics West.
In 2024 the Athletics Australia Target Talent program (TTP) aims to offer a flexible education model incorporating online Webinars and an associated Learning portal in conjunction with Practical Masterclasses run by WAIS with support from Athletics West.
TTP aims to offer a greater environment for athletes to gain further knowledge to aid their performance development towards achieving higher performance standards.
The TTP Award will be managed by Athletics Australia and supported by WAIS and Athletics West. The focus of the athlete engagement and education is a primary consideration in our pathway strategy and we aim to offer this through TTP.
Education Webinars
To access the Online Learning Portal please access it through the Athletics Australia Learning Centre.
