Coach of the Year Dinner Thursday May 9, 2013.
Every coach knows that even the most talented athlete or team can always find areas to target for improvement. The same can be said of coaches' performances.
Take a few minutes to read the CHSCA Coaches Code of Ethics and consider making an item or two, points of emphasis for this year.
Coaches are role models for their athletes. Redoubling our efforts to function within the precepts of our Code of Ethics can do more good than just talking about sportsmanship.
Coaches know that actions speak louder than words. Here's a great way to set an example that your athletes will emulate. You might even want to post the Code as a statement of your expectations for your performance as a coach.
CHSCA Membership insurance information is posted in the Coaches' Info section.
