If we want to Chairman continue to enjoy the success we expect, we Board of the Australian Sports Commission need to respond to this new environment in circumstances where Government funding for high performance sport is likely to be constrained at current levels.

This means we need to raise the bar ourselves in everything we do in high performance sport - our talent identification and development, coaching, sports science, use of technology and innovation, and the management and administration structures that support our athletes. It is fundamental to success that we set the same standards of excellence and accountability in all of these areas that we expect of our athletes on competition day. The ASC, which is investing a record $170 million this year in high performance programs, has the responsibility to ensure that we have high performance support structures in place to enable high performance sporting success. We have significant work to do on these fronts. Our partner sports can expect much sharper focus by the ASC in future on best practice governance and administration, intellectual property ownership, athlete management and support structures and general accountabilities by the sports.
