13 Personal Motivation Creating a respected and sustainable athletics system that constantly strives towards Olympic and Paralympic success.

14 Why am I here? Own The Podium s Vision For Canada to be a world leader in high performance sport at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Own The Podium s Mission To lead the development of Canadian sports to achieve sustainable and improved podium performances at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Athletics Canada s Vision Provide world leading programs and services in athletics and to be recognized for its commitment to: Systematically developing world class athletes who achieve podium success internationally

15 Philosophy HP success in Athletics needs (in order) Athletes Coaches Sports Medicine & Sports Science Facilities & Equipment Competition

16 Pre-conceptions Sporting Culture $ Ruthless System Never take a backwards step Nice people

17 Initial Impressions on the ground The HP program has lost its way recently. The program doesn t have a clearly agreed purpose nor a single identifiable culture. Many good people are working hard for the program but without clear roles and responsibilities. The outward signs of these issues are: Poor and/or contradictory communications; A general lack of trust within the sport; A general lack of trust of stakeholders and investors in the sport; Low moral particularly at the operational level; Many decisions led by mechanical policies or external initiatives.

18 Culture (DRAFT 5) HP Program Purpose To systematically guide and support Canadian athletes along a sustainable pathway to Olympic and Paralympic medals. HP Program Core Values We are passionate about delivering results and strive to continually improve. We invest in an athlete s future and do not simply reward past success. We hold ourselves accountable for our actions and outcomes. We are adaptable in order to both embrace and drive change. We build open and honest relationships based on trust, respect and communication. We earn the trust of others by operating with the highest ethical standards in all we do.

19 HP Core Behaviours Culture (DRAFT 5) We recognize that our program must continuously make selection decisions regarding athletes, coaches and support staff; we will execute this responsibility based on the program s purpose and our core values. We do not say anything about anyone that we would not say to them directly. When we make suggestions they are constructive and oriented towards problem solving and removing obstacles. We demonstrate our professionalism through the way that we present ourselves, our use of language and by being reliable and on time. We take care of ourselves and our colleagues. We hold each other accountable to our program s purpose and core values.
