Performance Pathway
The Performance Pathway Team identify and support individuals to reach their potential within sport. Promising athletes are guided on their journey toward potential competitive success through the Performance Pathway Programme.
The Performance Pathway Programme provides the environment for individuals to learn, grow and develop into athletes for a sport which fits the individual’s profile/ impairment and to have the best possible chance of success at World, Paralympic and/or Commonwealth Games.
The Performance Pathway sessions aim to develop an individual’s Physical Competencies and Fundamental Movement skills through the delivery of multi skill sessions. These sessions are for individuals who may not be currently involved in a specific sport but wish to explore what the Performance Pathway could offer, and for individuals attending sporting sessions run by their corresponding National Governing Body (NGB).
The Performance Pathway programme:
- Focusses on recruitment and development by increasing the number of signposts and engagement opportunities for Performance Pathway Hub participants and athletes.
- Creates partnerships with national governing bodies, disability-specific organisations, health, education, agencies and groups.
- Influences new and existing structures to develop a Performance Pathway which is inclusive of disabled people.
- Supports participants and athletes who wish to transfer out of or across to another sport.
- Develops resources which will support a range of sports with the impairment profiles and requirements of NGB / GB organisations when seeking potential athletes.
- Celebrates and communicates achievements and success across the pathway and to inspire the next generation of Athletes.
- Advocates the importance of well-being for people involved in the Performance Pathway Programme and provide opportunities to grow and develop in and outside of sport and physical activity.
- Monitors the impact of the Performance Pathway Programme on participants, athletes and partner organisations.
