The National Talent Academy Programme
What is the National Talent Academy?
The Triathlon Australia High Performance programme has established the National Talent Adademy (NTA) in order to help achieve it's vision of “Sustained International Success”.
The NTA is a camps based program established to provide a link between existing state junior development programs and the SIS/SAS network. The key deliverable of the NTA is to support talented athletes emerging from existing STTA junior development programs or via talent identification/talent transfer by:
- enhancing their daily training environment through advice and mentoring to the NTA
athletes home coach - offering a camps-based program which will provide specialist coaching and technical
support in sports science and sports medicine - offering national and international (subject to selection) triathlon races opportunities
Who will deliver the NTA?
The NTA is divided into four regions each of which will be driven and managed by appointed National Talent Coaches (NTC). The four regions and coaches are:
- NSW & ACT – Keiran Barry
- WA & SA - Chris Lang
- VIC & TAS – Jan Rehula
- QLD & NT – Craig Walton
Each NTA will deliver at least three technically based camps over 5 – 7 days during school holidays. The camps will be coordinated and driven by the National Talent Coach (NTC) who will act as Head Coach during the camp. The NTA camps will be supported by the SIS/SAS coach and other specialist coaches or technical experts as relevant to achieve the purpose of the camp.
How do I become a part of the NTA?
