British Ski and Snowboard is implementing long-term performance
pathways and is tasked with the development of elite athletes and
the delivery of programmes which will lead to World Class
Performances. Michael Pilarski has been appointed to the position of
Head of Programmes and will be working closely with all the athletes
to create individual plans and goals for the 2011/2012 season.
Commenting on the Selection, Dave Edwards, Chief Executive of BSS
said “much time effort and energy has been expended in the last
twelve months fighting to create an organisational platform that can
support our top athletes.
The job is part complete but at least, thanks to the support
of British Land, Colmar and others, we can now announce development
programmes and a team who can strive for success on a world stage.
The group of athletes that we have announced today are
considered to be the best British prospects for Alpine success for
the next generation.
They owe it to those that support them and those not selected to
constantly strive for better results.
We look forward to seeing the improvements in the coming
years.”
