Back from Denver

Having the privilege to attend our coaches convention is a professional development opportunity I look forward to every year. I get so excited learning more or different ways to do things that I have been doing for 30-years--so much so, I am ready for next season to start right now and we haven't even taken too much of a break yet. The sessions, the on-court programming, and learning labs were full of very useful and pertinent information for me. One of the best sessions was the keynote speaker, Joe Ehrmann. He was a super dynamic speaker and his 1.5 hour talk whizzed by. He challenged us coaches to "Win While Leaving a Legacy". His points were very real and I look forward to reading his book, InSide Out Coaching. Another really good session was Cathy Crosslin's, "Change Your Mind, Elevate Your Game". Now it will be my challenge to take the points from each of them and grow more as a coach. I am ready.
