Two coaching workshops hosted in Kingston and Hamilton

Row Ontario’s coaching workshop schedule continued with a busy weekend that included two coaching clinics in different areas of the province.

The Leander Boat Club in Hamilton, Ont. hosted an RCA Coach Weekend #1, while the Kingston Rowing Club in Kingston, Ont. hosted an RCA Coach Weekend #2. Both clinics were well attended by coaches looking to continue their professional development and learn from the workshop clinicians. The RCA Coach Weekend #2 workshop was run by learning facilitators Kate Gorsline and Brad Brennan while Row Ontario’s Sport Development Manager Andrea Miller ran RCA Coach Weekend #1.

Overall a combined 24 coaches attended the clinics, became better educated on coaching theory and programs and moved a step closer in their NCCP certification process.

There’s three more coaching workshops on the docket for this month, with the RCA Coach Weekend #2 (Sudbury, Ont.) running this upcoming weekend (March 7-8) followed by an RCA Learn to Row Coach (Hamilton, Ont.) and RCA Coach Weekend #1 (Peterborough, Ont.) on March 28-29.
