Suzanne Fisher, formerly of Gymnastics Canada, worked with an organization called True Sport to develop a free online module for coaching ethics.
It looks like a Powerpoint presentation where you must sometimes click to move forward. There is some video. A few slides where you must answer questions.
It takes less than 45 minutes to complete.
This is not a requirement of the National Coaching Certification Program in Canada, rather a supplementary module. Canadian coaches who complete it can be credited 3 points towards professional development requirements.
Good and important content.
