MED – Make Ethical Decisions

As a clinician in Canada for the National Coaching Certification Program I was required to complete an online ethics course.

Online Evaluation for Make Ethical Decisions – Competition – Introduction:

• Scenario One
• Scenario Two

… You will fail the evaluation if you cannot:

• establish the facts of the situation

• distinguish between legal and ethical situations

• determine appropriate solutions to the scenario

Coach.ca

The two scenarios were somewhat interesting. Somewhat useful.

But the design of the online course was sterile. Slow to complete. Buttons did not align clearly to text.

Too academic. Too wordy.

Correct “answers” were debatable.

Overall call me DISAPPOINTED. 😦

I did send my feedback to Coaching Association of Canada.

Two of us had trouble logging into The Vault, as well. But my distress email was quickly answered.

5 MAG commit to College

Ron Noe:

I can’t recall in the past seeing many gymnasts, if any at all, announcing their college commitments before the early signing period. So far, as of October 30, five gymnasts have publicly announced via Twitter and/or Facebook.

Thanks to social media, many of our top high school seniors are talking about their college recruiting trips. The naysayers may think otherwise, but this has a positive effect on the younger guys, and creates a much-needed buzz for the sport. …
