It takes more than hard work and determination for an athlete to be successful. It takes having the proper tools. The Athletes Connect program provides Canada’s athletes with these tools…allowing them to focus on the podium.
An athlete’s travel, training and competition schedule is hectic. Staying connected to people and accessing information while remaining focused on performance can be challenging. Through the program, Bell provides more than 2,000 Canadian athletes annually with access to free cell phones, air time and internet service.
Athletes can stay in touch with their coaches, fellow athletes, friends and family over the phone through voice, SMS text messaging and mobile video. And with Sympatico High Speed internet service, athletes can also stay connected with e-mail and have unparalleled access to the latest technologies available on the web — to create customized nutrition or training diaries, build personal blog sites, research upcoming competitions, download videos and much more.
Initiated in 1997 in partnership with Athletes CAN, the Athletes Connect program offers comprehensive telecommunications services to Canada’s senior national team athletes currently competing at the Olympic, Paralympic and senior World Championship level.
