Halifax athlete Burgin in Olympic and Paralympic Futures Programme
The programme, which is supported by Nike, is a key step in the pathway to support athlete and coach development with the aim to progress to become a successful senior athlete, and transition onto the World Class Programme (WCP) in the next cycle and support those who have highlighted the potential to succeed at future Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The programme works closely with the Home Country Athletics Federations to provide progressive learning squad environments for performance athletes to grow and develop in a safe, but challenging and inspiring setting.
