Welcome to the 7th edition of Sport First. Paving the way for a special Olympic edition of Sport First scheduled for later this year, there is a strong Glasgow 2014 theme running throughout this issue.
Our chair Louise Martin talks about sportscotland’s contribution to 2014, providing an overview of the activity that we are driving and supporting. We give more details about a range of programmes linked to major games.
With two ‘home games’ over the next three years, the team at the institute are as busy as ever helping to provide sport and athletes in Scotland with high performance expertise. We take a look at the institute’s work in the disciplines of performance lifestyle and biomechanics. Staying with performance sport we speak to GB Curling’s Performance Director Dave Crosbee about the future of the sport.
And we’re also delighted that rowing legend Katherine Grainger MBE has taken time out of her packed schedule to talk to us about her preparations for the Olympics later this year.
We're pleased to be able to profile the recently launched club sport framework, designed to inform planning and practice in club sport. We also take a look at how the Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities programme is investing in local sport. Finally we’re delighted to bring you the lowdown from the SFA on recent developments in women’s football and, of course, to bring our priority areas to life by looking at some real life case studies.
