BRITISH SYNCHRO BOOST SUPPORT STAFF
Adele Carlsen has taken up her new role as Technical Programmes
Manager within British Synchro to provide athletes with greater
support in the run up to the Olympics in Beijing 2008 and
London 2012.
At the beginning of the year, former British International
Carlsen stepped down as National Performance Director to make
way for the more experienced Biz Price, who has worked as
National Coach for Canada and in a consultancy role for Spain,
China and New Zealand.
Carlsen's new role includes helping centralise the sport,
manage the High Performance Centre at Aldershot, provide one-to-one
athlete support and fulfil the role of Team Manager during
international events.
With the recent results at the FINA World Championships British
Synchro has already shown signs of improvement and with the
new team in place Carlsen believes that the future looks good
for the growing sport.
"It is a really exciting time to be involved within
British Synchro," she said. "The sport has progressed
so much in the past three months. The girls performed really
well in the World Championships and I am really proud to have
been a part of that.
"I have been working with Biz for the past three months
now and I believe that we make a good team. In my new role
I am working alongside her to help in the centralisation of
the British Synchro, which is going to help the sport to grow
and improve ready for London 2012."
