Next steps
Systematic implementation of LTAD is critical if Canada is to retain its international leadership as a country that is successful in sport for AWADs. NSOs, both those that integrate athletes and those that govern sports only contested by AWADs, need to develop detailed plans to implement' effective LTAD programs as do MSOs that serve a specific disability.
LTAD for high performance success and for the long-term health of Canadians with a disability will not happen by chance, but only through the concerted and coordinated efforts of all partners in the Canadian sport system.
There are no accidental champions.
