It’s Time to Celebrate Canada’s Coaches!
Campbell’s® Chunky® partners with CAC to find Canada’s Most Valuable Coach

 

 

The Coaching Association of Canada and Chunky Soup, in association with TSN, will recognize the contributions of Canadian coaches with the launch of the second year of the Chunky MVC: Most Valuable Coach contest. This program encourages the millions of Canadians involved in community, amateur and competitive sports to visit coach.ca/chunky to nominate a coach who has made a real difference in their lives and the lives of others by reflecting and promoting the values of leadership, activeness and community. This year’s winner of Chunky MVC will receive a prize package valued at $25,000 for his or her athletes and community.

If you know a coach that deserves recognition for the outstanding work they do, then go to coach.ca/chunky and nominate that coach to be the Chunky MVC!

Be sure to keep an eye out for Chunky MVC in-store presence and media appearances!

New NCCP

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) has recently developed a new curriculum based on competency-based education training. What that it entails is coaches will be developed not only in a classroom, but evaluated on deck while coaching. Coaching clinics will not be the same old student and lecturer, but now a learning facilitator will orchestrate a learning environment conducive to discussion and a trial-and-error learning approach. The new NCCP is based on the concepts of the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) player pathway model adopted by Sport Canada. --> more

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me or drop me a line.
