Ontario Coaches Week
This week is also Ontario Coaches Week. Here is what the Coaching Association of Ontario has to say about this week!
One coach and 10 kids: an opportunity to make 100 impressions and generate 1000 smiles. The numbers do add up and its time to pick up a whistle and make a difference in your community.
"Ontario Coaches Week is about inspiring new community leaders to take up coaching," says Susan Kitchen, Executive Director, Coaches Association of Ontario. "There are many intrinsic rewards that come from being a coach for young or older athletes. Introducing a young person to a sport you love has returns that last a life time." Check out the video Coaching is it in you?
 | | Coaching: Is It In You? |
In an effort to increase the number of qualified coaches so that more children and adults have the opportunity to lead healthy and active lives, the Coaches Association of Ontario is celebrating Ontario Coaches Week from April 9-17th in dozens of communities across the province.
In the coming weeks we will be sharing stories so you can get to know our coaches better. Our first spotlight is the TDC Central Coach Carol Love. Click here to watch a short video with Carol.
