The nomination process for the World Athletics Coaches’ Commission is now open. Individuals interested in becoming members of the commission are invited to submit their nominations.
The Coaches’ Commission will ensure coaches’ voices shape World Athletics’ decisions, providing a forum to advance elite coaching initiatives through policies and projects advised to the World Athletics Council.
The commission will focus on elite-level coaching and related high-performance strategies and international competition environments.
The Coaches’ Commission will develop a plan through to 2027, aligned with both the World Athletics Pioneering Change Strategic Plan 2024-2027 and the World Plan for Athletics 2022-2030. The plan will set out the work and specific outcomes to be achieved during the commission’s initial two-year term.
The commission will have between eight and 14 members, including at least two Council Members. The World Athletics President will be an ex-officio member.
The initial term of appointment is for approximately two years from the date of appointment (expected to be November 2025) until the conclusion of the 2027 World Athletics Congress. All future terms of appointment, as applicable, will be four years.
The members will be appointed by the World Athletics Council, on the recommendation of the Nominations Panel.
Information on how to apply to become a commission member can be found in the information and nominations pack, available via the World Athletics Library.
The deadline for nomination submission is 30 September 2025.
