Announcing the 10 participants, programme lead Jody Cameron says a feature of the group is the first-time inclusion of coaches from rugby league and volleyball, who join coaches from four other team sports and four individual sports.
The successful applicants are:
- Kendra Tate, Canoe Racing
- Tessa Jenkins, Cycling
- Jessica Fuller, Football
- Emily Gaddum, Hockey
- Charlotte Scanlan, Rugby League
- Jo Morrison, Netball
- Michelle Munro, Rowing
- Anna Livingstone, Rugby
- Tess Mattern, Triathlon
- Liz Hanna, Volleyball
The first Residential for the group will be held in April 2024 with the course running through to June 2025.
A further 16 applicants have been invited to join the satellite programme that has run continually for the past three years.
“We have had a positive response with all `16 applicants keen to take up the opportunity the satellite programme provides,” says Jody. “This creates a more sequential pathway which meets the needs and expressed desires of the coaches for more cross-sport exchange and coach support.”
Satellite participants undertake a 12-month online programme, facilitated by coaching guru Raylene Bates.
