Questions for Coaches

 

As we finilize everthing for the upcoming conference on the 7th, we want to make sure we are providing every coach with what they need.  In order to do this I am asking two questions.  Please reply with your answer.

 

1.  If you could receive clarification/information about one topic regarding being a Speical Olympics coach, what would that be?

 

2.  If you had to name one resource you think you would benefit both you as a coach and your training club, what would that be (paperwork, training...)?

 

Thank you in advance for your responses.
