Missed the launch of the National Talent Programme on 20th January 2019? Do not worry you can still engage on the programme. Athlete Development Curriculum Athletes are supported with the learning and development through targeted training programmes and competitive opportunities. Athletes will have a clear understanding of what they need to know and to do to reach the next stage of their development. Tracking and Benchmarking Athletes are tracked through their development on key elements of their programme so that they can monitor their progress. They will also undergo benchmark testing which helps view their trajectory referenced against the Worlds best archers at that specific stage of development. Athletes undergo a process of assessment on key characteristics identified as being predictive of World Class success and weighed appropriately to the age and stage of the athlete being profiled. Willingness to do the Work Undertaking and managing yourself as a performer is key to long term success. NTDP is aimed at supporting that learning by challenging you to consider what it takes to develop further and how that journey is personal to you. Are you ready to undertake that journey? If so 10am Sunday 24th March at Lisnagarvey High School, Lisburn is the venue. Please forward your name to NTDP Co-ordinator Hazel Campbell at hazel.campbell@archeryni.org.uk with your name and age and bow style.
