Coaching Masters Athletes Acknowledgements
COMMUNITY SPORT COMPETITION INSTRUCTION COACHING MASTERS ATHLETES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONCEPT DESIGN Cyndie Flett MAIN WRITER Nigel Kemp ADVISORY GROUP Georgina Bellamy François Gravelle John Huntley Nigel Kemp Volker Nolte Sherry Richardson Brad Young EDITOR Louise Wood PRODUCTION Field Day Inc., Lucie LeBel, MATRA • gs Translation Services Inc. Coaching Association of Canada • Coaching Masters Athletes FOREWORD When I played competitive water polo, in the 1980s, there were few if any opportunities for continuing to compete past your mid-twenties. The same was true for many other sports, and masters competitors or participants were few and far between. But we’re all a few years older now, and many of us have stayed active. As a result, participation and competition by masters athletes has increased dramatically in recent years. Far from being a rarity, the masters athlete is today a common sight in many sports. National Masters and World Masters Championships are now the norm in almost every major sport, water polo included! Because significant participation in masters sport is so new, we are just starting to learn what masters athletes are physically capable of and what motivates them. Coaching masters athletes is therefore essentially a new frontier, and this booklet is the first contribution the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is making to that new frontier. Coaching masters athletes is an exciting opportunity for all coaches to have a positive impact on the lives of adults who want to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. It is also a wonderful opportunity for coaches to have a positive impact on society by encouraging more adults to be more active.

Flo Filion Meiler, an 84-Year-Old Record-Breaking Pole Vaulter, Is Just Getting Started
Flo Filion Meiler, an 84-year-old record-breaking pole vaulter, is just getting started Flo Filion Meiler is at the University of Vermont's indoor track and field practice sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. By 9 a.m. sharp, the pole is in her hand and her eyes are laser-focused on the height she needs to clear. She's the elder among a large group of student-athletes, her moppy silver hair and her enormous smile help her stand out in the crowd. That, along with the fact that she is 84 years old and training alongside college-aged students at daybreak. Meiler takes her position, breathes in and then exhales. Ready for takeoff, her hands grasp the pole firmly. Her body lifts into the air as the pole makes contact with the ground. Her back arches over the bar and then a split second later, she lands gracefully on the other side, her feet safely planted back on the ground. "Flo gives me a little bit of a heart attack every time I watch her. I am always like, 'Please be OK' under my breath every time she lands a high jump or a pole vault -- and she always is," her coach, Emmaline Berg, 26, said. Rob Jerome Flo Filion Meiler, 84, recently won gold in pole vault, pentathlon, high jump and hurdles at the indoor World Masters Athletics Championships. Meiler's a pro. She has been doing this for 20 years. She won seven medals in her age division (80-85): gold in the pole vault, relay, pentathlon, high jump and hurdles, and silver in the triple jump and long jump.

GA Aarhus 2017
Reports from European Masters Athletics Association to the General Assembly, Aarhus, Denmark on 30 July 2017 Report of European Masters Athletics President, Kurt Kaschke Since we met in Izmir in 2014, it has been a particularly busy but very successful period for the Masters in Europe. We are indebted to Poland and the City of Torun for hosting a wonderful Indoor Championships in March 2015; to Grosseto, Italy and FIDAL 2015 and Vila Real de Santo Antonio, Portugal 2016 for hosting thoroughly enjoyable Non Stadia Championships, the latter at short notice. We returned to Italy again, this time to Ancona for the 2016 Indoor Championships where again we had a huge entry of more than 3000 competitors. Mountain Running is another discipline that we participate in and I attended the Championships in Montcada, Spain in April this year. We took the decision to remove the Marathon from our Track & Field Championships and to incorporate our race with an existing big City Marathon as potential bidders found it difficult to find a suitable course and meeting the cost of road closure etc. We had talks with the City of Wroclaw Marathon organisers who are happy to work with us. Thank you to the City of Wroclaw and other race organisers for well organised marathons. I am now asking all Affiliates to support this race in this lovely Polish city by ensuring your runners get the information as soon as possible. This year the marathon will be held on 10 September. Europe is World Masters Athletics most important region, we constitute the largest entry and we are the only region to hold Masters Championships in Stadia, Non-Stadia, Indoor and Mountain Running.
