Brazilian Olympic Committee signs on with TSE Consulting to boost Olympic sports performance
TSE Consulting has signed a new contract with the Brazilian Olympic Committee to improve Brazil’s elite performance planning in the lead up to the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The project is headed by Steve Roush, TSE Senior Consultant - Sports Performance. Steve joined TSE in February 2009, having just left his eight-year post as Chief of Sports Performance at the US Olympic Committee where he oversaw a period of record success for USA’s Olympians.
TSE will work with the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the national federations with the goal of improving the performance of athletes at the Olympic Games through the use of proven models of success. London 2012 will act as a large milestone to evaluate progress, but 2016 is the main target for the project. Also, as part of the contract, TSE will provide consultation on sport-related activities for the Rio 2016 organising committee in the lead up to the Olympic Games.
Carlos Arthur Nuzman, Brazilian Olympic Committee President:
The arrival of Steve Roush will bring an immense contribution to the development of Olympic Sports in Brazil. His experience leading the American team during three editions of the Olympic Games will certainly be very useful. His presence will add to the planning being done by the Brazilian Olympic Committee, together with the national federations, for the next Olympic cycle.
Lars Haue-Pedersen, Managing Director of TSE Consulting:
We are extremely honoured to have been brought on by the Brazilian Olympic Committee as they start their planning for 2016. With Steve’s expertise and the use of proven models, sport in Brazil will reach new levels. We look forward to working closely with the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the national federations to strengthen Brazil’s sports performance over the coming years.
