Over the years, AthletesCAN has invested in athlete leadership development through effective
representation and education. The organization has created resources to build and formalize
athlete feedback mechanisms across the sport system. As a result of strengthening strategic
partnerships both within and outside of the system, AthletesCAN has continued to pioneer
innovative ways to ensure inclusive decision-making by informing, educating, and advocating
for an athlete-centered sport system.
