The objectives of the program remains to create environments which athletes can develop the necessary tactical, technical, physiological and psychological skill competencies to aid progression through to the National Athlete Pathway.
The ‘Rest of State Talent Academy’ (ROSTA) will continue, aligned with the current Regional Academies of Sport Programs (RASi), conducted around NSW. It will offer those juniors who are not geographically located near a RASi program, a pathway and opportunity to be involved. Those who do not have access to a Regional Academy of Sport program are invited to apply for the ROSTA.
Once again this season, the previously named ‘U23 Development Squad’ and Emerging Talent Squads’ will continue to be merged and be known as the ‘NSWT Development Squad’.
This will target Billigence Series Races, Australian Junior Championships, World Triathlon Junior and U23 Events and also offer Training and Race Camp experiences. Athletes in this program will rightly wear the NSW Trisuit and see a focus on building more advanced tactical and technical skills whilst developing a level of robustness and behavioral attributes that will equip them to better handle the full time training demands post high school.
