Multi disciplinary approach considering nutrition, biomechanics, technical, phyio / rehab and the overall impact of S&C programming.
This document discusses Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) models, specifically Balyi's contemporary LTAD model. Balyi's model includes 7 stages from Active Start to Active for Life that aim to improve elite performance, promote lifelong participation, develop physical literacy, and enable talent identification. The stages focus on fun, fundamental movement skills, sport-specific training, and continuing participation. Implementing LTAD models could help athletes reach their potential and promote health.
This document discusses various coaching styles and elements of effective coaching. It describes five common coaching styles - authoritarian, business-like, 'nice guy', intense, and 'easy going' - along with their advantages and disadvantages. It emphasizes the importance of adapting one's style to suit the circumstances and athletes. The document also covers elements of an effective practice session, teaching skills, managing athlete behavior, and other coaching responsibilities and best practices. The key aspects of being a respected coach are discussed, including instilling character, effective communication and organization, and acting as a role model.
Organizational culture refers to shared meanings and understandings within an organization that distinguish it from other organizations. Common elements of culture include innovation, stability, attention to detail, and aggressiveness. Culture defines boundaries, provides identity, facilitates commitment, and serves as a control mechanism. Strong cultures can act as barriers to change, diversity, and mergers. Culture is created through hiring, socialization, and leader role modeling and sustained through selection, socialization, and top management behavior.
Characteristics of a Successful Sports CoachRyan Grogan
The document discusses five key characteristics of successful sports coaches:
1) High quality practices that transfer skills and knowledge to athletes.
2) Strong communication skills to effectively deliver feedback and messages to athletes.
3) The ability to motivate athletes to play to their full potential.
4) Developing athletes' fundamental sports skills in an effective order.
5) Possessing in-depth knowledge of the sport through education and experience.
The document emphasizes that interaction exists between these characteristics and success requires continuously improving upon them.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared beliefs, customs, traditions, and values of an organization's members. It is shaped by an organization's founders, leaders, selection practices, and socialization of new employees. Maintaining culture involves selecting new members who share the existing values and socializing them to accept prevailing norms and customs through stories, rituals, symbols, and language used in the organization.

This document summarizes research from three case studies examining pathways to meaningful livelihoods for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote areas.
The first case study looks at microenterprise development in very remote communities as an alternative to standard business training models. The second examines perceptions of economic participation pathways for Anangu youth in the APY Lands. The third analyzes prison learning experiences and post-release employment aspirations.
Key themes emerging across cases include the importance of investing in cultural identity and belonging, recognizing interdependence, and reimagining economic participation beyond traditional industry models. Systemic barriers include education and training programs that are dominated by non-Indigenous beneficiaries and prioritize paperwork over listening to community needs.

1. The document discusses the importance of understanding personal meaning and shared narratives in the workplace. Leaders must understand what gives meaning to each employee's work in order to increase engagement and productivity.
2. Stories are a powerful way to understand personal meaning and discover shared values and principles within an organization. Exploring individual stories and finding common themes can help uncover a company's culture and shared narrative.
3. Developing a clear, shared organizational narrative based on personal meanings and cultural realities can motivate employees and guide strategic direction. When leaders effectively communicate this narrative, it creates context, encourages alignment, and inspires purposeful action.

Liz We can celebrate and be proud of a century of development that is ongoing today. Long history of working in the community as well as hospitals and other places, and working on many issues to enable participation in occupations e.g., Jessie Luther (Rhode Island OT at Grenfell Mission) engaged in community development to enable healthy & disabled workers engage in productive occupations
Liz I am proud to look back at my good fortune. I was attracted to join the first national 'Guidelines' Task Force in 1979 at the invitation of Hilary Jarvis, then CAOT President from Nova Scotia. At the time, I was enrolled in a Masters of Adult Education program. This privileged position of being an outsider-insider helped me to see the importance for me - and I believe for all occupational therapists and other professionals - to learn to articulate what we do, what we know, how we work, and why societies might benefit from and want to use the knowledge. Thelma Sumsion, the first Task Force Chair and CAOT President, took introduced the nation to national occupational therapy guidelines funded by the Department of National Health & Welfare. Our review of the literature convinced us that what we have been doing for the last century is what Carl Rogers called client-centred practice.
As a profession in Canada, we can be proud to have almost 30 years of national guidelines development. This history of examining, questioning, and articulating what a profession does from a national perspective appears to be a precedent amongst Canadian professional groups, and unique around the world. While practice guidelines are well known in most professions, Canada can be proud of developing generic, conceptual guidelines for any practice. While they are not as directive as many practice guidelines, they have helped us to uncover and describe the foundations that make it possible to practice occupational therapy in so many different ways & places. CAOT formed a Client-Centred Practice Committee that integrated three original1980s Guidelines into a single volume published by CAOT in 1991. The Committee was based in Nova Scotia and included Lori Multari, our CAOT Board Member. These were adventurous times… including working to publication deadlines despite the weather and power outages!
Liz The 1990s were exciting times in Canadian occupational therapy circles as our Canadian perspective evolved from the early 20 th century post-World War I idea of ‘divergent therapy’ to keep wounded soldiers and people with tuberculosis and other diseases ‘occupied’. A physician, Dunton (1919) already recognized the power of occupational engagement to promote health!
Liz Occupational therapy’s evolution from divergent therapy had a fascinating stage in which occupational therapists learned to adapt ‘occupations’ for therapeutic uses for the body, such as using a bicycle saw for exercise, coordination, and work tolerance. A multitude of assistive devices came on the market as aids to daily living. Fred Sammons became a familiar name as an inventor and business man in assistive devices. Muriel Driver, for whom Canada’s premier lectureship is named, wrote in 1968 about occupational therapists’ fascination with technical sciences and the need to understand the profession’s philosophic foundations.
Liz Enabling Occupation emerged as a new framing of client-centred practice. The focus returned to the profession’s origins in addressing occupation beyond technical interests in body parts. At this point, the emphasis was largely on individual occupational performance.
Liz When Enabling Occupation I was published by CAOT in 1997 with the help of Geraldine Moore then Editor of the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy
Mary I thought this might be a good way to show how the ‘impact’ of the guidelines has been considered – both in terms of sales and the impact on practice

Liz With occupation being articulated as the domain of concern, Canadian occupational therapists were daring in creating a new model to capture the profession’s implicit, taken-for-granted understanding about HOW occupational therapists actually work. With informal testing to name ‘enablement skills’, we found resonance and support to dare to name 10 enablement skills in an Enablement Continuum in Enabling Occupation II. to name the core competency that distinguishes occupational therapy as ‘enablement’. With this new language, stories have begun to be articulated. For example where occupational therapists have felt restricted by being labelled and locked into a job as the ‘equipment person’, stories are emerging about using enablement skills to educate people about their occupational issues and the potential for them to realize occupational dreams with technical assistance, or to coach them in using particular technologies, and to collaborate with the client – who may be an architect firm to design and actually test the building of inventive technologies that make daily living possible.
Liz International colleagues join us in daring to use the power of ideas, models, and practice process guidelines for enabling occupation. Being able to see what occupational therapy is really about is being examined in different cultures and systems such as Japan
Liz The idea of being daring is catching around the world. An Australian group of occupational therapy researchers and practitioners in various settings has created a Community of Practice to examine what it means for occupational therapists to try enabling occupation in their particular situations. They ‘road tested’ the Enabling Occupation guidelines and dared to raise important critical perspectives about the struggles and the great breakthroughs practitioners reported on their practices, using the latest guidelines for Enabling Occupation II
Liz The Australian project was an important one for daring occupational therapists – some of whom like Lauren felt they were drifting away from the core beliefs and values of occupational therapy – to reassert their interests in enabling occupation
Speak briefly about the impact of occupation on person’s lives and our communities; need to create knowledge to carry our discipline forward; stretch our boundaries beyond health services

Justice with interests in social inclusion Injustice lies in denial or restrictions on the different capabilities that people can actually develop Accommodations need to support the realization of actual potential
