2015 Theme:   “Connecting Leaders to Sport”     

The focus of the 2015 Forum on Elite Sport will be management and leadership in international high performance sport centres.  Over the course of the Forum, we aim to answer the following questions:  How do we better develop present and future leaders of high performance centres?  How do we better equip the ASPC members and high performance centre leaders in their respective locations to be even better leaders?  What skills, knowledge, abilities and tools can be offered that will contribute to the personal and professional growth of high performance centre leaders?  How do we elevate the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of our centres through a focus on developing strong leadership?
