Snow Australia FUTURES goes online

Snow Australia's athlete development and talent identification initative, FUTURES, will be delivered in an online format commencing on Tuesday 14 July. 

With some uncertainty around the capacity to deliver on-snow FUTURES programs in 2020, Snow Australia has developed a series of online FUTURES Webinars to provide education around the Athlete Pathway for the Snowsport Community.

Webinars will be multi-discpline and open to all athletes and parents, with an active Snow ID.

Snow Australia Sport Development Officer Johnny Lipzker said that he's excited to take the FUTURES programs online.

"Due to the impacts of COVID-19, we've been challenged with how we can continue to deliver our programs and we're excited to bring FUTURES to life in an online, virtual environment," Lipzker said,

"Whether you are involved at an Interschools level, part of a Snow Australia Pathway Program Prodiver, or just curious about the Athlete Pathway in Snowsports, we'd love to have as many people join as possible," he said.

Topics will include Program Updates, Mental Preparation & Planning, Values & Health, Nutrition, Strength & Conditioning, and Fundamental Movement Skills.

These will be followed by a series of discipline specific FUTURES webinars containing important information on the upcoming domestic and international season, as well as Q & A opportunities for all participants with a panel of National Team athletes and coaches.

The Webinar Series will begin on Tuesday 14th July from 6:00pm – 7:00pm.

Webinar # 1 will feature an introduction to the Athlete Pathway, an introduction to FUTURES programs with a 2020 program update, and a discussion of the potential impacts of COVID 19 on Snowsports training. 

Registrations for each Webinar can be found on the Snow Australia FUTURES webpage: https://www.snow.org.au/pathways/futures/

All Webinars are free of charge with an active Snow ID and will be conducted via Zoom.

More information will be posted on the FUTURES webpage in the coming weeks.
