The NZOC was proud to co-host the NZ Performance Summit 2023 alongside Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) and High Performance Sport New Zealand in mid-March.
The sports sector conference saw more than 300 athletes, coaches, NSOs and other stakeholders from across the high performance system come together to learn from past campaigns and share knowledge with Paris and other future pinnacle events in mind.
NZOC CEO Nicki Nicol says the summit is an important gathering which encourages sector wide collaboration.
“It was brilliant to get so many key players from the sports sector together in a room to share ideas and cast an eye to the future,” said Nicol.
“New Zealand’s sports sector is small and nimble, and we know that our strength lies in sharing our experiences and best practices. This supports faster learning and contributes to a 'one-team' approach, helping to give us an edge at pinnacle events."
There was a significant focus on how to maximise performance with strong wellbeing outcomes.
Nicol says the summit also focussed on the “Future of Sport” and how we have to be looking for the changes that are occurring now, within society, that will be the mega trends that will shape elite sport into the future.
There was also strong sentiment from national sporting organisations on how Oceania can maximise the benefits from upcoming pinnacle events in the region.
“With Victoria 2026 and Brisbane 2032 on the horizon we are really focussed on identifying opportunities for Oceania around these events.”
“There was some great discussion, and we look forward to further exploring these opportunities at the upcoming ONOC forum in Brisbane."
The summit is a biennial event.
