Information: 819-821-5893 INFOSHERBROOKOIS | Winter 2011-2012 57 Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke Sports & Recreation Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke Psychological and neuropsychological support for athletes Over the coming years, athletes supported by Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke will receive additional services in sports psychology and neuropsychology thanks to assistance from Amélie Soulard and Julie Bolduc-Teasdale. Amélie Soulard, a PhD student in psychology at the Université de Sherbrooke, began her internship with the Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke team early this fall. This final two-year project allows ESS to provide mental preparation services to about 30 young athletes, young hopefuls for the 2013 Canada Summer Games, and to receive advice on evaluating the Impulsion 2013 program. Amélie also helps the ESS work team with organizational efficiency. Amélie Soulard and ESS have been working together for over a year on the internship project, thanks to Amélie’s participation in the support program for training groups as a sports psychology consultant for the Bishop’s Gaiters Women’s Basketball team. “It’s a privilege and an extraordinary opportunity to continue working with Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke and its athletes, as I develop my organizational and strategic skills. I hope that my presence is a plus, as much for the athletes we support under the Impulsion 2013 program, as for the organization itself which is currently showing great momentum!” said Amélie Soulard on working for Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke. As for Julie Bolduc-Teasdale, neuropsychologist and founder of the Clinique de neuropsychologie du sport associated with the Horizon Performance multidisciplinary team, she signed a collaborative agreement with Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke to support athletes who suffer concussions. Beyond posttraumatic support for victims of concussions, she offers an approach that aims to establish a base level for at-risk athletes early in the season, set up a recovery schedule in the event of a concussion, and establish a protocol for returning to the game. This approach is based on a test that is used to establish a neuropsychological measure of the athlete’s cognitive function under normal conditions. “I am very happy to have the chance to work with the Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke team. Concussions are real injuries that require serious attention. Thanks to this new partnership, I hope to provide athletes with ways to better manage their symptoms following a concussion. This approach seeks to optimize the recovery period, avoid athletes being penalized in their school work, and ensure that they are in the best physical and cognitive shape when they resume their training,” said the new ESS collaborator. “Recent events clearly demonstrate the importance of prevention in contact sports that present risks of concussions, especially among our youth as they develop. A partnership such as the one offered by Ms. Bolduc-Teasdale is a step in that direction, as is the agreement she established with our colleague Rémy Fontaine for certain athletes on the Triolet high school’s Harfangs team,” said Jacques Petit, Executive Director at Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke. ESS now on Twitter Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke has taken a step further into the world of social media with the creation of a Twitter account with the name ESSherbrooke. This new platform lets ESS share news about high-level sports in Sherbrooke and updates about our organization with even more people and organizations. Anyone interested in ESS activities is invited to follow us. We will make it our duty to follow everyone interested in high-level performance sports and major sporting events. Twitter users can access the Excellence Sportive Sherbrooke account at www.twitter.com/ESSherbrooke or by clicking the Twitter logo on the ESS Web site’s home page at www.excellencesportive.com.

We want to be in direct contact with you – the Canada Games are a community project that will have a positive impact on the region. Follow the evolution of the Canada Summer Games-Sherbrooke 2013 over the weeks to come! Last September, representatives from the National Sports Organizations and regional sports leaders visited the various sites together, the first in a series of formal meetings that represent turning points in preparation for the Canada Games. The first goal was to bring technical representatives from the National Sports Organizations and sports leaders together since they will be working closely together over the next two years. Inspecting the sites also led to the establishment of a list of improvements to be made to respect technical standards. This meeting proved very productive, and the necessary work will be carried out within the required deadlines. Technical representatives from the National Sports Organizations will return to Sherbrooke in February 2013, six months before the games, for final adjustments if necessary. Internal board of management set up to meet challenges! The Canada Summer Games-Sherbrooke 2013 Host Society can now count on an Internal Board of Management made up of 19 department heads. This new format, implemented by the Senior Management Team, will provide input from experts in each of the 19 basic departments set up to ensure smooth operations for the Games. The designated individuals were selected for their broad experience in their field. The departments include the sports program, site management, sustainable development, health, and transportation. Each department head is responsible for financial, material and human resources needs, among others. Members of the Internal Board of Management are currently participating in various planning stages that will result in a complete and final implementation plan by spring 2012.
