Oceania talent ID program kicks off
The Samsung Oceania Talent Identification Program is an innovative new program being launched as part of the Samsung Oceania Sports Development Initiative. The program is overseen by the Oceania Foundation, an arm of the Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC).
Fusion Sport's SMARTSPEED and SMARTJUMP systems have been implemented as the core training and testing technology for the project, not only due to the superiority of the systems for fitness testing, but equally as important for the ability to expand the systems' uses into the development of the identified talent.
The program is now active in several Pacific Island countries and aims to establish eight programs during 2008, and a further eight in 2009.
