This past weekend, Athletics Ontario hosted the first of its two athlete performance clinics with the Team Ontario U23 & U18 athletes at the Canadian Sport Institute of Ontario. The day consisted of athlete workshop sessions (nutrition and mental performance), functional movement screening (MSK) and athlete testing. The next session will run March 23rd and will include more athletes from the program.
