If you have ever wondered how to combine your Christian beliefs with your call to coach, this symposium is just what you need.
The NSCAA and the FCA are joining forces to offer a weekend Special Topics Coaching Symposium in Hilton Head this summer. Course instructors will include Dr. Jeff Duke, author of 3 Dimensional Coaching
http://fcacoachesacademy.com/ and Ralph Polson, Head Men’s Coach at Wofford and past-president of NSCAA. The goal of the course is to equip coaches with the skills necessary to not only coach the game but also to coach the hearts of players from a Christian perspective. The mission of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes is to see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches.
Dr. Jeff Duke is a former college and current high school coach and the foremost expert regarding the cultural influence on the coaching profession in our society. He has developed and authored the “3Dimensional Pyramid of Coaching Success” concept that has revolutionized the sport coaching landscape. Research shows that coaches who coach in all 3 dimensions regularly produce athletes who:
Learn skills quicker (more attentive), achieve higher fitness compliance (work harder), experience shorter rehabilitation (recover from injury), are more adaptable to new conditions (“on the road”), possess the freedom to be creative (“are gamers”), develop deeper relationships with other players and with coaches (learn life’s lessons).
The dates are June 20-22. Be looking for more information at scsoccer.com, NSCAA.com, FCA.org.
