Our various training offers in applied sports sciences
PAISAC offers four training sessions annually for Olympic Solidarity scholarship coaches. Courses offered in English and French.
PAISAC offers training in applied sports science. Sports science is the set of theoretical sciences that aim at the knowledge of the various aspects of sports practices. This theoretical and multi-sport training gives each participating coach the essential foundations for optimal planning of their training sessions.
Each participant will thus be able to apply their knowledge to their sport and according to the level of their athletes.
Two distinct courses are offered
Classical training
It is open to Olympic sport coaches, regardless of their level. They must be selected by their National Olympic Committee (NOC) and then obtain an Olympic Solidarity training grant.
This training is offered in 2 mandatory phases:
Phase 1: online remotely (6 weeks)
Phase 2: in person in Montreal (3 weeks)
Advanced training
It is based on selection by PAISAC and acceptance by the CNO among coaches who have successfully completed classical training. Advanced training is also financed by an Olympic Solidarity grant.
