  • 2020 Yearbook Intro
    2020 YEARBOOK INTRO DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE It goes without saying that 2020 was a year like no other. The COVID-19 pandemic struck the world with devastating consequences. Sport globally was just one sector dramatically affected. The 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games were postponed to 2021. Many national and international sporting events were cancelled. It was year of monumental disruptions to everyday life, including to our athletes and staff. Despite this, we can all be very proud of what the South Australian Sports Institute achieved in 2020. The results may appear sparse, but the personal journeys, achievements and contributions were rich. It was a year in which SASI rebuilt its cultural foundations as; One Team, Bringing Energy, Being Courageous and Demanding Excellence to establish itself as the heart of South Australia’s sporting success. Wes Battams SASI Director The South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) as the High-Performance sports hub in South Australia is committed to a vision of being the Heart of South Australia’s sporting success. We support South Australian based coaches and athletes ensuring they have access to world leading coaching, sport science and medicine and facilities to achieve podium performances at World Championships, Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games. As part of this commitment to international sporting excellence, SASI strives to develop outstanding athletes whose character, journey and performances are inspirational for South Australians.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.
