We've got STELLAR news!
If you’re familiar with us at Athlete Assessments, you’ll know we often ask our clients: ‘What does Winning look like for you?’
So if you asked our team in October 2023, we’d say…THIS!!
Our team was incredibly excited and honored to share that at the 2023 Australian Institute of Training & Development (AITD) Excellence Awards Gala Dinner, we won our own National Titles. Athlete Assessments Founder & Lead Consultant, Bo Hanson was announced as the winner of the Dr Alastair Rylatt Award for L&D Professional of the Year!
As a company, we were also fortunate to have been named a finalist for Best Capability Program for our Elite Team Program, tailored for the Mississippi State Women’s Division I Volleyball team, coached by Julie Darty Dennis.
As the AITD detailed in their press release,
“The AITD Excellence Awards recognize outstanding achievements in learning and development, setting new benchmarks for our members, recognizing, rewarding and sharing quality and innovation across the learning and development spectrum.”
We’ve previously written an article on driving leadership within a wider program, featuring Julie Darty Dennis as Head Coach at Mississippi State Volleyball, read it here.

Best Capability Building Program
The AITD Award for Best Capability Building Program is focused on the implementation of a capability building program that enhances individual or team performance and contributes to overall positive organizational performance.
Given Athlete Assessments’ extensive work with teams, athletes, and coaches in high-performance sport, it was only fitting that our application for Best Capability Building Program featured one of our highly successful clients, the Mississippi State University Women’s Volleyball team, coached by Julie Darty Dennis.
