Welcome! The Canada Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Sport Canada and the Canadian Sport Institute Network are pleased to announce the launch of the first phase of Game Plan, a career transition program that provides support to Canadian athletes in life and sport. Game Plan empowers high performance athletes to pursue excellence by helping them plan for their life and career after retirement. Not only will a transition plan reduce stress and minimize distractions, it will also help athletes focus on their current goals in their sports career allowing them to perform at their maximum potential.

“We’ve had many athletes express concern about their life after competitive sport,” says Wendy Pattenden, Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. “Game Plan will help athletes to reduce the stress associated with transition planning. With similar programs already existing in the UK and Australia, we’re proud to be the first nationally standardized program in Canada that will help strengthen the Canadian sport system even further.” Game Plan is delivered across Canada through the Canadian Sport Institute Network. The Network’s seven locations provide a world-class, multi-sport daily training environment for Canadian athletes and coaches. With the support of our partners, the Canadian Sport Institute Network contributes to Canada’s world leading Olympic and Paralympic podium performances by providing expert services in sport science, medicine, coach education and transition to a career after retirement.

Athletes and coaches are encouraged to contact the Canadian Sport Institute in their area to learn more about athlete eligibility requirements and services available under Game Plan. Enjoy the site!
