Canadian Sport Centre - Annual Report

Annual Report

Message from the President

Canada has emerged as a world-leading nation in sport. Our athletes are now achieving podium success in a wide variety of both summer and winter sports on the international circuit. The Canadian Sport Centre Calgary (CSCC) has led the way in supporting their winning performances, as evidenced by the 383 Olympic, Paralympic and World Championship medals won by CSCC athletes since our inception in 1994.

We are in the preparation business, believing that preparation powers performance. Over the past 18 years the CSCC has developed an extremely successful model in the delivery of high performance programs and services for athletes and coaches. Our model is long term, world leading, and centered on the Integrated Support Team (IST) approach, with expertise and services integrated and delivered into athletes' and coaches' daily training environment. We know what it takes to build champions. Our world-renowned Service Professionals understand the philosophy and process required to manage performance, through long term and detailed planning combined with age appropriate and sport specific training. Our expertise enables athletes and coaches to train properly and effectively in order to achieve maximum performance gains that translate into podium results.

We have created an ‘environment of excellence’ in which Canadian athletes are trained to become world, Olympic and Paralympic champions. We offer performance services, life services, coach education and development, all supported by solid business practices. Our integrated approach to measurement, planning and monitoring are our signature processes. We have set the standard for performance excellence and with our collection of experience, knowledge and intelligence we will continue to build and deliver champions on a repeated basis.

Every day I see the amazing work of our staff and sport experts that make up the ‘team behind the team’ in Canadian sport. Thank you to the staff, Service Providers, Board of Directors and funding partners for your ongoing commitment, guidance and support.
