Athlete Information
and Consent
Thank you for agreeing to contribute to our campaign debrief. As an athlete, your perspective matters most. Your responses will inform an in-person debrief session in Wanaka in May. You're not expected to attend.
Who is running this?
BrinkWork is an independent human factors consultancy engaged by Snow Sports NZ to design and facilitate this debrief. The lead practitioner is Matt Harrison, a registered psychologist. BrinkWork is not part of SSNZ.
What you're being asked to do
A short interview. A series of questions, in your own time, on your phone, tablet, or computer. The interview uses an AI-supported question flow that may follow up on what you've said, like a conversation rather than a static form. Voice input works best and is easiest on a phone or tablet. Use the microphone button in the text field or on your keyboard. If you're on a computer, you'll likely need to type your responses.
What happens to your responses?
Your responses are confidential. They are emailed directly to Matt when you submit. Responses are processed by an AI to generate follow-up questions. The AI provider does not store your responses. Responses are then themed across the group before use. Individual responses are not shared with SSNZ. Matt reads every response personally before any analysis or reporting takes place.
Your email address is the only identifier collected. It is used as a safety contact only. It is stored separately from your responses after Matt's initial review. Responses are stored securely by BrinkWork and deleted once no longer required.
This is not a counselling service
This debrief is about campaign systems and experience, not your mental health. If you need to talk to someone, please reach out to team support or a trusted person directly.
You're in control
You can skip any question. You can withdraw your responses by contacting info@brinkwork.co, though once responses are themed and de-identified this may not be possible. Completing the interview is strongly encouraged as it's the only way to incorporate your experience, but what you share is entirely up to you.
By continuing, you agree to your responses being used as described above.
