Overview<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Archery Australia recognises the importance of supporting athletes as they transition away from being a high-performance athlete. Archery Australia currently offers its AIS funded program (National Recurve and Para Program) athletes 12 months of transition support through Wellbeing & Engagement service provision and resources, as well as six months support through Performance Psychology service provision. There are also transition support services from the AIS that are available ongoing such as the AIS Mental Health Referral Network (MHRN) and the AIS Career Practitioner Network (CPRN). This transition support provided by Archery Australia is on par with what is offered in majority of the countries National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) and the National Institute Network (NIN) system and provides individualised planning and support services to athletes in a crucial time in their journey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Research tells us that this point of transition away from elite sport can lead to significant issues with athlete wellbeing, particularly a lost sense of identity, community, and purpose. Anecdotally, it can be a point of significant change for an athlete in terms of finance, career, relationships, residence, and other factors of personal life.\u00a0 It can also be said that when an athlete retires, they take with them years of experience, knowledge, and insight into being an elite athlete in the sport of Archery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the significant investment made in our athletes, and by our athletes, in time and resources, Archery Australia would like to create a clear and supported program in which to maintain engagement with Archery Australia Alumni.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This program aims to be mutually beneficial, by facilitating and funding Alumni to maintain connection with their sport and community for wellbeing benefit and contribute to the development of athletes and staff within the high-performance pathway of Archery. The aim of the Alumni program is to develop a directory of alumni athletes interested in maintaining connection with the sport of Archery, and to facilitate a range of engagements that support athletes to share their knowledge and experiences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
