The Ontario Performance Program – Track DTE, aims to enhance cycling performance as athletes navigate the transition from Junior through U23. In partnership with Cycling Canada, the Ontario Performance Program – Track DTE is based out of the Mattamy National Cycling Center in Milton, ON, and is open to identified athletes from all cycling sports.
Program Objectives
- Provide identified athletes with world-class training, coaching, and integrated sport science services to maximize their performance potential.
- Transition athletes from Provincial into National team programming with the confidence and skills to succeed.
- Provide opportunities to participate in multiple cycling sports and collaborate training with HP athletes across all sports.
- Provide opportunities to facilitate training sessions and sport science elements to the athlete’s current program (*the performance program is not a replacement for training prescribed by personal coaches).
