Pacific Sport Institute Sport Innovation Centre

Mission: To harness technology expertise across Canada and develop and apply new technology in sport which will enhance the international success of Canadian athletes.

Athletes who reach the international podium most often have a leading technological edge. The latest innovation may have made them 1/100th of a second faster than their next-place competitor – an innovation that is the result of hours of research and development in a lab far from the competition

SPIN, created to provide leadership in technology development and innovation for performance sport, is the one of three PacificSport Performance Labs in the province. Dr. Gord Sleivert, PacificSport’s internationally recognized VP Sport Performance, heads SPIN, currently located at the Vancouver Island Technology Park

Athletes, coaches and full-time human performance specialists work closely with Vancouver Island hi-tech companies, academics, technologists, engineers, computer experts and trades people to provide innovative solutions for sport.  

This facility will play a leading contributing role in athlete performance at future summer and winter Games, including the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
