Background
Introduction &
Future Champions
Strategy
The NSW Office of Sport’s Future Champions strategy was launched in
December 2019. Its primary focus is to ensure that the participants and
emerging athletes of NSW, have the right fit of sporting engagement,
knowledge and support to fulfill their sporting ambitions and success on
and off the sporting field. To achieve this and utilising a consolidated best
practice approach, the strategy provides clear recommendations for the
NSW sports sector to review and refine their operational strategies and
related education, networking and support systems.
Directly informed and aligned with the FTEM NSW Participant and Athlete
Framework, the strategy comprises 16 recommended actions across 6 key
strategic drivers - Pathway Leadership, Coaching, Empowered Participants
and Athletes, Pathway Intelligence, Competition and Development and
Performance Environments.
The Future Champions strategy has a deliberate focus on building the
foundations of the NSW pathways system through effective and agile
leadership, strategy, knowledge sharing, networking and building the
evidence-base. Informed by the best practice principles of the FTEM NSW
Participant and Athlete Framework, guidance provided to NSW Sporting
Organisations and their network partners will not only cover their Talent
strategies, but also importantly their underpinning Foundational strategies
and fit of programs and delivery.
Attending to a key action of the Future Champions strategy, this
interactive resource was developed specifically to support our
stakeholders and sector within NSW, in their understanding and
application of the FTEM NSW Framework.

strategy please visit https://sport.nsw.gov.au
