The Ontario Cycling Association is pleased to announce that they are the recipients of a Ministry of
Health Promotions Sport Priority Funding Grant. The grant is centered on excellence.
This grant, submitted by Manager High Performance Brendan Arnold and BMX/DH Program Coordinator
Nicky Pearson, will help fund multi discipline training projects in early 2010 and focus on providing
additional opportunities for athletes to be well prepared to achieve personal best performances.
The early start to the season will enhance the development of Ontario's athletes that compete at the
National and International level.
These projects will require that team member's work together to accomplish their goals. Emphasis will
be on utilizing the CCA LTAD model in the Train to Compete phase.
This will be achieved by:
• Increasing aerobic base, muscular endurance and anaerobic threshold
• Improving pedal stroke, high rpm spinning, cornering and sprinting
• Introduce psychological training aspects such as positive imagery, goal setting, self motivation
and self analysis
• Improving nutrition, adequate fueling and refueling
• Improving personal leadership – deal with adversity both on and off the bike
• Advancing technical riding skills
The Road and Cross Country project participants will come together in South Carolina in March 2010
The BMX project will run in Florida from March 20-27, 2010
The Downhill project will run in Nevada in February 2010
