Canadian Comp 1 coaching course
Thanks Kyna Fletcher and Phoenix Gymnastics Vancouver for once again hosting our intensive 4 day Competition 1 coaching course. Phoenix is a leader in coach education.
The course is digital. Video and PDF.
Coaches can annotate the PDFs or print the material. Coach Kipp got his printed and bound for only $20.
Personally, I’m going to bring both printed and digital copies to future courses. As one coach noted: “Print copies don’t run out of battery in the middle of the session.”
