IRL in USOC Journal, Olympic Coach
Winter 2015 Edition
IRL Logo

As the only yearlong sport-specific post-graduate level coaching education program in the USA, the IRL at CRI was invited by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to share our story in the Winter 2015 edition of their quarterly coaching journal, Olympic Coach. 

Their journal is focused on issues important to National Governing Bodies (NGBs) of all sports with a specific focus in this issue on Long-Term Athlete Development. The focus of our submission was to share the theoretical underpinnings of the IRL program developed here at CRI to improve the educational opportunities for coaches to inspire other sports to make a similar significant investment in educating their coaches.

Check out the published article here in the USOC journal and scroll to page 36 to read the IRL article titled, LTAD: What About the Coaches?

Photo Shoot at CRI!!
Thursday, April 2nd

CRI will host a photo shoot here at the boathouse this Thursday, April 2nd. All our scheduled programs/classes/practices will run as planned. 
The shoot is big, and it will be great to get our boathouse the media attention it deserves. 

Things will be a bit hectic here throughout the day. The biggest impact will be on parking as shoot vehicles will be parking in the lot. The shoot staff arranged for a State Trooper to help direct traffic, and overflow parking will be available at the ice rink down the road.

We'll need to be patient with the folks working the shoot, giving over a portion of our beautiful space is a bit inconvenient but doing so supports our incredible programs.

When: Thursday, April 2nd

Duration: All day

Parking: Overflow parking is available at the ice rink down the road

Questions: email Nonna at nonna@communityrowing.org


Thank you to all our members and athletes for your patience in helping us host these folks. In doing so, you support CRI and our mission 'Rowing for All'!!
