Helpful Information

If an athlete has been identified as an emerging talent within their sport, it is important that they understand the pathway, opportunities and support available to help them reach their sporting potential.  Every sport is different. Discuss the specific talent pathway for your sport with your club, regional and/or state sporting body.
