Target talent program (Uganda)

The Target Talent Program (TTP) is the highest tier of the Academy and is funded and directed by Uganda Athletics Talent Academy. TTP is the early identification element of UATA's High Performance Department.

The aim of this program is to encourage and develop the best young athletes around the country, by providing them with an opportunity to train with other talented athletes, learn from professionals and to interact with their personal coach and other TTP personal coaches in a training environment.

The TTP squad will cover 8 event groups which include: Vertical Jumps, Throws, Pole Vault, High Jump, Sprints and Hurdles, Endurance and Walks.

Whilst there will be core components of the TTP, each event group will have their own event leader that will assist Uganda Athletics Talent Academy by coordinating a specific event program, with their own specific aims and outcomes.

Personal coaches are encouraged to engage with the program at every level.

Having a well-rounded program centred around Long Term Athlete Development and support, will allow the athlete and their coach to maximize their current practices. The legacy for coach development will enhance the technical knowledge of coaches in providing best practice support networks to further build the talent pool. The program requires athlete and coach engagement.

This program will look to offer both training and education which will support athletes to attain the necessary learning opportunities to fully understand the demands of their event and performance readiness at an international level.

The program will address the four key areas of a High Performing Athletes
