  18. Context of UKS Funding • ‘No Compromise’ Approach • Investment principle 5 - Funding is a privilege not a right • UK Sport do NOT distribute funding ‘equally’ - they unashamedly target sports / athletes capable of winning Olympic medals • They reinforce excellence - sports with a track record and who performed in London saw big increases • They challenge under performance and reject mediocrity – those failing to achieve are under intense scrutiny and receive only one year awards • A strategy designed to reinforce the best, support the developing and provoke change in the underperforming

  19. British Fencing –Project Rio • Funding application was the culmination of 12 months work between BF Performance Team and UKS • Part of the application was the submission of athletes and weapons for support • RAG rated by the Project Rio Investment Panel • Decisions on how many places to offer was based on the assessment of the overall business case, athletes / weapons and track record to date

  20. UKS Award • Only one year of support guaranteed • No Podium athlete places provided (Podium = will medal at 2016) • Only 12 Podium Potential places (Podium Potential = will qualify in 2016 and medal in 2020) • Tasked by UKS to continue the progress made with the step change in approach to performance and build a sustainable performance programme • Required to implement a new coaching structure, elite centralised training centre, raise standards for selection to international competitions, deliver results

  21. Year One Objectives • Key is to try and convince UKS through objective performance based evidence, we can win a medal in 2016 • Unlock Podium places and further Podium Potential places (116 available) • Steer from UKS to initially focus on one or a small number of weapons and deliver success • Operate a pseudo Podium Programme with some Podium Potential places • Identify athletes who are ‘real’ Podium Potential • Start a talent identification and confirmation programme across all six weapons

  22. Podium Potential Programme • Funding focussed on a limited number of weapons • Squad of 10 Men’s Foil / 1 x WE / 1 x WF • Athletes will be in competition for the available spaces on the programme as restricted by funding and resources • This mean some supported athletes in a squad may be developing and not at the same current performance standard as those in other weapons not supported • Admission to the WCP is not guaranteed on reaching the minimum entry criteria but also on: • There is a place available • The weapon is identified as being targeted in Year One • Fencer assessed in regards to likely medal potential at Olympic level in 2016 (fast track in year one) • Fencer assessed as having the potential to win a medal in 2020 • Those joining the Programme aspire to win medals and not simply to be on the WCP • Signed up to the level of commitment required at that stage • Signed Athlete Agreement

  23. Non-Funded Senior Programmes • Introduction of voluntary Weapon Managers to work with the WCP to provide support to those non-funded weapons • Works closely with WCP to further the performances of non WCP funded squads and athletes • Responsible for putting together a programme of activity that aligns with the WCP at senior level • Responsible for making and maintaining contact with athletes eligible for selection for international squads • Provide help and support at competitions

  24. Talent Identification & Confirmation and Talent Programmes • Supported by with limited funding by UKS and SE through their Excel funding • Only one year funding at standstill level from SE • Head of Pathway Development now recruited • Key tasks in Year One: • clearly articulate the vision for fencing and submit a revised funding application to SE for years 2-4 • introduction of talent assessment days across all six weapons • put in place a squad based system to support identified talented athletes

  25. Beyond Year One • By the end of Year one we need to have demonstrated to UKS and SE that we can build and run a sustainable performance programme and meet KPIs and milestones • We would hope that we can ‘unlock’ podium places or at least receive more podium potential places • Have a WC talent programme operating across all six weapons providing a pipeline of athletes for PP places • Have submitted a strategy to SE for enhanced support for talent programmes • We will amend the entry criteria and selection process in line with podium potential aspirations – qualify in 2016 and medal 2020
