 In response to the demand from coaches for practice-oriented conferences focused on a small number of disciplines, European Athletics launched its Coaching Summit Series in 2008. A ‘summit' is both a high place or peak and a high-level meeting . . . and both senses apply to the conferences in this series. They bring together top athletes, leading coaches and sport scientists at venues where there is specific expertise or a strong tradition in a particular event. The programme of each summit includes presentations, practical demonstrations, small group workshops, round table discussions and plenty of opportunities for the participants to discuss all aspects of their event with colleagues and stars from around the world. The aim of the Summit Series is to cover all the athletics disciplines in a two to three year cycle. European Athletics works closely with and provides financial support to the independent organisers of the summits, thereby assuring participants a quality learning experience. European Athletics provides scholarships to help Member Federations send coaches to participate in the summits. Registration information and other details of the Coaching Summit Series and can be found in the Education Measure Calendar. |
