AT Performance Pathway Program Victorian Squad Announcement

Following the recent Australian Taekwondo Fighting Futures Selection Camps held in Melbourne (11 December 2021 and 20 February 2022), AT are proud to announce the following athletes selected to the Performance Pathway Program.

Twenty-six athletes have been chosen from seven clubs throughout Victoria following tremendous support from the AT community with 81 athletes, from 19 clubs at Camp I and 58 athletes from 9 clubs at Camp II trialling the program.

The intention of the Performance Pathway Program is to work with our state partner, AT Victoria to provide ongoing support to athletes outside the PPP through their monthly State Training Program (STP) and supplementary development sessions throughout the year.  

Australian Taekwondo National Coaching Group

The Performance Pathway Program will be managed by National Performance Pathway Lead, Ali Khalil and supported by the AT National Coaching Group (NCG) which was appointed through an expression of interest process. This team of coaches is represented by the majority of States/Territories to work together to implement the delivery of the Performance Pathway Program at the local level. 

The coaches will plan and lead sessions focusing on the development of physical and technical capabilities that are important for success at international senior competition. State-based PPP coaches will be involved in planning activities under the leadership of the National Performance Pathway Lead, to create guidelines and resources to be adopted across the athletes and coaching network to ensure a unified focus for the broader AT network. 

It is the aim of AT to build representation on the NCG from all States and Territories over time as the Performance Pathway Program develops and will soon look to begin targeted camp-based programs in consultation with our partners in WA and Tasmania.
