Performance at the London 2012 Games
Performance at the London 2012 Paralympic Games
Observations made on the original Academy and 12x12
Strategy
• No clear link between the Academy and the in country development structures
• There was no evidence of a detailed cost analysis for developing an athlete in countries per sport code.
• Budget allocations per athlete (coach) to deliver on the model did not exist and could not be met by either the Zone or Member Countries
Observations made on the original Academy and 12x12
Strategy• There was no evidence of harmony on plans
between NOCs, Sports Councils/Commissions, National Federations and Governments regarding high performance.
• Member Countries were at different development stages and therefore the target to win a Gold Medal was too overstretching for most Countries.
• Lack of Podium Performance coaches in the Region - A podium finish at the Olympic/Paralympic Games requires a podium coach.

• The Purpose of the PPP:
“To see Regional Athletes achieve Podium Performances at International Events”
