Friday, August 17th, 2007 - The CCA announced today
the decision to remove the position of High Performance
Director as part of a realignment of the High Performance
sector prior to Beijing. Kris Westwood will therefore
be leaving the association, effective September 30th,
2007.
“I am of course disappointed to be leaving the
CCA, but I can look back with satisfaction on the progress
we have made in building support systems for our elite
athletes,” said Westwood. “A lot remains
to be done, especially at the development level, but
I’m confident that the coaches and staff in place
will continue to progress in the right direction.”
The organization would like to recognize Kris for his
contribution during the past few years and for his ongoing
commitment to assist Canadian athletes to achieve international
excellence.
His responsibilities will be transferred to the three
national team coaches with the support of High Performance
Manager, Sean O’Donnell. CCA’s coaches are
Houshang Amiri, National Team Training Centre (West)
in Victoria, BC; Vincent Jourdain, National Team Training
