Newsletter item – Tasmanian Institute of Sport, 17 April 2023
The Tasmanian Institute of Sport is proud to announce the launch of our Talent ID for 2032 program
Talent ID for 2032 aims to find 12–22 year old Tasmanians with the potential, skills, attributes and aspirations to be the next Olympic and Paralympic champions, with a focus on the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
To achieve this, we are running talent identification testing sessions around the state that will assess potential athlete’s physical strengths and identify which sports they could be most suited to. We may even find some athletes who are suited to a sport they have never tried before!
Athletes who are successful will enter into the new TIS Talent Identification and Development program, where they will gain access to a range of training, sport science, sports camps, strength and conditioning, and sports medicine services.
What to expect
The Talent ID for 2032 testing will consist of completing a number of physical tests to assess the type of athlete you are and what sport you may be best suited for.
These tests include:
- Height, seated height, arm span
- 20m sprint
- Agility
- Vertical jump
- Max push-up
- Blazepod reaction
- Beep test
