Event information
Welcome to the 3rd Annual Evolution of the Athlete Coach Education Conference website.
The 2009 Evolution of the Athlete Conference offers coaches, teachers and sport management professionals the opportunity to spend two days with some of the leading authorities in coach training in Australia today.
Whether from sporting fame, academia, or business - conference speakers will be focused on sharing with the delegates their knowledge, experiences and philosophy on coaching with a focus on mental toughness, leadership and coaching behaviours.

Attracting over 300 delegates the Evolution of the Athlete Conference is non-sport specific so the presentations, panels and sessions are ideal for anyone keen to learn how to become a better coach and drive success with their athletes and teams - pro or amateur.
