2nd Annual CSCAA Coach Academy Line-Up

The CSCAA Coach Academy May 3-4, 2016

The Coach Academy was the compass I needed to develop a total team philosophy unique to our swimmers. It is a valuable resource that inspires coaches and brings further purpose to a program. - Christine Mabile

We are excited to present our second annual CSCAA Coach Academy as part of the CSCAA Convention.  The Academy will provide foundational professional development experiences to help coaches improve their off-the-deck skills, align their programs with the mission of their institution and gain new tactics for growing their alumni networks and financial support.  

The Coach Academy will include four sessions immediately prior to the start of the 2016 CSCAA Convention.  The sessions are led by exceptional coach leaders. (Partial List Below)

Cost: $50 (includes dinner Tuesday evening). 

The Coach Academy was an invaluable experience for me.  The relationships you foster with your athletes and the interactions they have are the true keys to success. The interpersonal skills covered during the academy allowed me to grow not only as a coach on and off the deck but more importantly was the fact that I was honing these skills alongside my peers who have become a tremendous support system for me.  I would highly recommend attending the academy to anyone looking to teach beyond the X's and O's of swimming itself and build a sustainable environment of support and growth.  - Dani Korman

Last year's coaching academy was invaluable to my career.  I left with a much wider knowledge base and a great deal of confidence.  To hear from so many top coaches and experts was an amazing rexperience. - Franco Pacheco
