Targeted Athlete Strategy (TAS) is a national program that provides identified Canadian athletes with the individualized support that they need in their development to enhance what the team-based system already provides. I had an opportunity to be a Head Coach for this program for 2 years.
Throughout my time under TAS program, I designed to provide athletes with an individualized training and development program that will maximize their growth as a skilled athlete over the long term. TAS consisted of the top 20 targeted male and 20 targeted female athletes in Ontario (ages 16–18) identified within the national team program’s depth chart. The strategy is based on two fundamental factors of LTAD, periodization and calendar planning, which are used to design a plan for athletes that provides them with the resources they need to ensure they develop holistically as an athlete.
The overall goal is for athletes to maximize their potential and attain the highest level of achievement possible in a professional playing career and representing Canada internationally.
