Invitation letter to 08-09 squad
Dear Fencer
As one of Britain’s top cadet fencers you have been selected to join the
Cadet Potential Programme. 6 cadets from each of the 6 weapons will be included,
36 in total. The age group is cadet for the 09 european & world championships (i.e. born in 92
or later).
This list is being taken from the 07-08 1st March world
championship selection ranking.
This scheme has 3 main aims:
1.
To improve the general physical fitness of the squad
up to the standards established by British Fencing’s
Strength and Conditioning team.
2.
To bring the standard of fencing footwork up towards
the level of the best in the world.
3.
To provide support and recognition for the personal
coaches in order to make the most of their skills and contributions, now and
for the future.
There will be a Programme Manager in overall charge (Neil Brown),
appointed by British Fencing. The manager will work with the lead Strength and
Conditioning coach (Phil Marshall) and the footwork coaches (Norman Golding,
Maciej Wojtkowiak) to ensure that in future British cadets and juniors will be
well prepared for the world stage.
If you wish to be part of this squad, you will be expected to attend all
the assessment sessions, which will allow the coaches to identify your needs
and set up a suitable training programme for you. You will be required to
follow your individual programme and your progress will be assessed at each
follow-up session.
We will expect the fencers accepting the invitation to join this scheme
to do the following:-
You will also be expected to provide feedback to the coaches and the
programme manager in various forms such as a training diary or by email. Any
feedback you provide will be confidential and not disclosed to anyone else
without your permission.
The funding for the programme is limited but we expect to cover some of
your costs for the testing & training sessions. The details of this will
be: some travel expenses (15p a mile) for those living more than 50 miles from
the venue, hotel accommodation for those who need it at £25 a night. Last year
we also managed to pay some expenses to coaches for attending the testing &
training & for CPD.
The first weekend will be 29-30 March at KES in Stratford,
the next will be 5-6 July in Chepstow.
Further
assessments every few months to fit in with the competition timetable as much
as possible. Please note there will be an open invitation for all
the fencers’ coaches to attend every session.
British Fencing believes that you have the potential to be a future
‘world beater’. We expect you to engage and work hard; in return we aim to
provide you with access to expert support and training.
We expect you to show a good level of determination to succeed &
some long-term ambition. This programme will prepare you for good quality
training in the years ahead but it is your willingness to keep going that will
determine your future success.
It should be noted that national or international rankings do not
automatically entitle athletes to a place on this programme.
In offering you this opportunity, we recognise that it might not be possible
for every athlete in the top 6 of the rankings to adhere to the requirements of
the programme, (attending training, completing training logs etc). In these
situations and after discussion with the athlete, we will replace those who are
not able to comply. In these cases there will be no effect on selection for
international events.
Please contact me to discuss further if necessary.
If you would like to accept this invitation, please complete the form
and return it to me as soon as possible (signed / scanned and emailed is fine).
