A sponsored version of the Athlete Development Programme (ADP) is available for selected athletes with international potential. ASP status is not solely based on previous competition achievements; it is designed to provide athletes with essential training resources and continuity in the training schedule. This approach fosters consistent improvement in international results, helping athletes reach their full potential on the world stage.
What are the goals of the ASP programme?
This year’s program aims to:
- Assist individuals in improving their personal bests in Freestyle and/or Extreme Racing.
- Help athletes gain selection for national teams and/or international events.
- Support national team athletes in securing medals in international competitions.
What can the programme provide me?
Sweetwater Coaching offers support according to their eligibility level (Elite, Performance, and Development). Coaching resources are allocated based on each athlete’s individual training and performance plan.
What is expected of an Athlete?
ASP athletes are expected to meet the conditions outlined in the ASP Carding Standards (Elite, Performance, Development) and adhere to any mutual agreements between coach and athlete. Additionally, athletes commit to participating in a mid-season review of their training and performance plan.
How long does the programme last?
The annual programme cycle is adjusted each year to align with the competitive calendar and lasts for one year. The scheme will be extended for a second consecutive year if performance agreements are met. If performance agreements are achieved during the first two years, an additional two years will be awarded, completing the programme’s four-year cycle.
How do I get involved with the ASP programme?
There are two pathways to enter the ASP programme: through application or by participating in the ADP programme. ASP places are highly sought after and limited. Positions are advertised as they become available on our Instagram and Facebook pages.
