Over the spring 2008 past several weeks I’ve had the opportunity to attend the Water Ski & Wakeboard BC and Row BC Annual General Meetings, plus cover the Freestyle World Cup at Cypress Mountain and the Birmingham National Wheelchair Tennis Championships in Whistler. While inside the attention at these events is usually focused on the athletes, I was more interested in the coaches - meeting them, talking to them about their issues, etc. While each sport has its unique perspective and challenges, some common themes emerged, which were also reflected in the responses to a club survey we sent out. One of those is the continuing challenge to find enough coaches to run the programs. And although the clubs say that they would like to be able set minimum training standards for coaches, they are often grateful for the assistance of almost anyone who will step forward to volunteer their time. Another theme that emerged from the survey was the desire for access to more coach training, particularly in the outlying regions of the province. CABC is continually looking at how it can best serve and support the coaches in this province. Plans are well underway for Coaches Week 2008 to involve more communities, and facilitate more training opportunities. Mark the week of September 20-27. One of the focuses of Coaches Week will again be to recognize those who do give their time to ensure that young people have opportunities to participate in sports. I happened across one of those special people on Cypress Mountain. Ken Lyons (see photo), who first stepped in to help during the teachers’ strike four years ago, was cross country skiing with on the cover a group of students from Marlborough Elementary in Burnaby. We need a lot more like him! To Be Or Not To Be . An Educated Coach In this issue of Perspective be sure to read the article 1 0 by Jeff Grace, who is as accomplished at writing as he is at coaching.
