2012 Workshops

STEPHEN NORRIS, PhD

Stephen Norris is the Vice-President, Sport at WinSport Canada based in Calgary, Alberta, and is charged with bringing together world-leading performance & development programming and the incredible facilities afforded by Canada Olympic Park, the Canmore Nordic Centre, and the Olympic Speed Skating Oval. Unique in its vision and purpose, WinSport Canada (a not-for-profit organization) has become the yardstick by which the world measures Olympic legacies and winter sport development programs.
 
Previously, Stephen was the Director of Sport Physiology & Strategic Planning at the Canadian Sport Centre Calgary where he was focused on Canada’s Winter Olympic teams for the last three Olympic cycles (Salt Lake City 2002, Torino 2006, & Vancouver 2010). His main role was to work with national team officials and coaches to devise and enact programs that increased the likelihood of success at international level competition within the multi-disciplinary team headed by Dr. David Smith. This often required an integrated multidisciplinary approach utilizing expertise from several different areas in order to support a given sport’s performance objectives. In addition, Stephen played a key role as a primary consultant to the ‘Own The Podium’ program high performance/technical group, which was the agency (led by Dr. Roger Jackson) tasked to spearhead Canada’s Winter Olympic Sport performances in the 5 years prior to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.
