Naturally, the level or degree of adaptation is dependent on the genetical endowment of an individual. However, the general trends or patterns of adaptation are identified by physiological research, and guidelines are clearly delineated of the various adaptation processes, such as adaptation to muscular endurance or maximum strength. Adolescence is a difficult period to define in terms of the time of its onset and termination.

2019 Canada Winter Games Long Track Speed Skating Technical Package
2019 Canada Winter Games Long Track Speed Skating Technical Package Technical Packages are a critical part of the Canada Games. They guide the selection of athletes by prescribing the age and eligibility requirements, assist the organizing committees by detailing tournament formats and scoring procedures, assist Chefs de Mission in verifying eligibility, help with budgeting by describing the number of participants permitted, advance coaching certification by stating minimum requirements and generally contribute to athlete development by identifying each National Sport Organization’s (NSO) version of athletes in the “training to compete” phase of its Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD), or other suitable phase of the model as justified by the NSO, discussed with the LTAD expert group, and approved by the Canada Games Council (CGC) Sport Committee. Every Games' coach, manager, Sport Chairperson and Mission staff has an obligation to read and understand every aspect of the Technical Package. Failure to do so could cost an athlete his or her eligibility for the Games or could affect final standings or the conduct of the competition. If someone does not understand an aspect of a Technical Package, he or she is to seek clarification from the CGC Sport Committee through his or her Chef de Mission or NSO. Technical Packages are developed 36 to 24 months prior to Games primarily by NSOs, following principles outlined in this document, guidelines and requirements of the CGC. As the overall governing body of the Games, the CGC has the ultimate authority over Technical Packages, but this authority is exercised only with the knowledge and understanding of the concerned NSO. -

Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (Sdrcc) Centre De Règlement Des Différends Sportifs Du Canada (Crdsc)
SPORT DISPUTE RESOLUTION CENTRE OF CANADA (SDRCC) CENTRE DE RÈGLEMENT DES DIFFÉRENDS SPORTIFS DU CANADA (CRDSC) NO: SDRCC 19-0416 BRENDAN COREY (CLAIMANT) AND SPEED SKATING CANADA (SSC) (RESPONDENT) AND MATHIEU BERNIER SÉBASTIEN GAGNON KEIL HILLIS MAXIME LAOUN ALPHONSE OUIMETTE JORDAN PIERRE-GILLES (AFFECTED PARTIES) DECISION Attendees at hearing: For the Claimant: Emir Crowne Amanda Fowler Liam Macfarlane For the Respondent: Adam Klevinas Shawn Holman Jennifer Cottin For the Affected Parties: N/A Summary Speed Skating Canada (SSC) named skaters to its National and Development Teams in March 2019. As part of that process, skaters who had been injured could apply through a Bye to be named to the team despite lacking some results. One skater, the Claimant, was denied his Bye request to be named to the Development Team. The Claimant appealed the decision to reject his Bye, arguing that the Respondent had named other skaters to the team improperly. At issue is the Respondent’s interpretation of its Bye Policy. In previous years, the Respondent would not name a skater to a team through a Bye if the skater had never been previously named to the team. This year, the Respondent named two skaters to the National Team who had not skated for the National Team before. The Respondent elected to do so based on those skaters’ rankings, rather than past membership of a team. The Claimant disputes this, and requests that Team Selection be done in accordance with past practice. For the reasons that follow, I accept his appeal in part. Procedure 1. The Claimant appealed the Respondent’s decision to reject the Claimant’s bye request on March 30, 2019. -

It is Web-pub- lished by the LA84 Foundation under a license from the author. Printed in the USA 2 Acknowledgements This book would not have been completed and had its particular attention to detail without the help and support of the following individuals. First I’d like to thank Mr. Lundy Smith, an English teacher and head Girls Water Polo Coach at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. Lundy was most helpful in points of emphasis and grammatical structure in the book. I’d also like to thank Roger Nekton from Phillips Exeter. Roger just retired as head boys water polo and swimming coach after a long and very distinguished career of over thirty years at the Academy. Roger provided valuable technical input as well as encouragement regarding the need for written material in the sport of water polo. As a picture is worth a thousand words, I’m very indebted to Mrs. Chris Kittredge of CMK Enterprises (www.tudorgraphics.com). Chris was able to capture some of the more difficult team aspects of the game only because of her dedication, extensive knowledge of over twenty years with the sport and her brilliance as a photographer. Matt Brown (www.mattbrownphoto.com) is another photographer who exhibited a tremendous amount of alacrity in his water polo photos. -

2021-24 High Performance Plan
ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW The 2017-2020 Quad was a pivotal period for USA Gymnastics (USAG). The organization faced numerous challenges and experienced extraordinary changes. Despite these challenges our athletes continued to demonstrate athletic excellence highlighted by gold-medal winning performances by the Women’s team and a historic World Championship for Rhythmic in which two athletes finished in the top 10 for the first time ever. The USA Gymnastics that has emerged from the crisis is a new organization led by new leadership with a new athlete-centric mission and a new set of values that prioritizes athlete safety and wellness while still supporting athletes to achieve their athletic dreams. In this High Performance Plan, USA Gymnastics asks for the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC)’s support in achieving athletic excellence on the world stage while providing the resources needed to give our elite athletes the holistic mental and physical support they need to thrive, not just on the Olympic stage, but also in life beyond gymnastics. Mission and Values The new USA Gymnastics is a mission-driven organization the puts what is best for the athlete community at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We listen to our athletes and provide platforms to embrace and amplify their voices. We consistently seek ways to help our athletes grow and thrive, both on and off the field of play. This is emphasized in USAG’s new mission statement: To build a community and culture of health, safety, and excellence, where athletes can thrive in sport and in life. -
