What a blast it has been! Mostly, it has been about the people - the brilliant colleagues I am privileged to work with, and the people across the province that are now more than just voices at the other end of the phone or e-mail. inside British Columbia Coaches Week was the conduit into getting us out to communities across the province to celebrate the people who put so much of their time and their hearts into sport. As I said - what a blast! I hope you enjoy the brief recap in this issue, plus all the photos and coach profiles. And I hope that many more of you will plan to get involved in Coaches Week 2008, which we are already planning for. Any and all ideas are welcome! The name “Dartfish” has become quite familiar in sports circles over the past few years, though many people don’t really understand what it’s all about. I know I didn’t.
