No sports on TV…no national tournaments, no local teams
practicing or playing…and the Olympics are postponed!
Certainly, public health is the most critical issue at hand,
but it’s important to remember that these conditions are temporary. Sports will
once again play a beneficial role in our lives in terms of fitness, stress
relief, building teamwork, boosting self esteem and more.
Catholic Faith Technologies, in cooperation with our
partner, Coaching Coaches, LLC wants you to know that all of you are in our
prayers as we battle this unwanted crisis. There are ways to prepare for your
upcoming seasons even when teams and coaches can’t gather.
Coaching Coaches provides online courses through the CFT
platform. These online programs provide a way for coaches to meet their
coaching requirements and certifications while staying safe at home. These
courses have been viewed by more than 60,000 coaches representing several
different dioceses with extraordinarily positive evaluations.
By utilizing these online programs, your CYO program can stay
current with its coaches' requirements, avoid multiple coaching meetings, and prevent the gathering of people when we start to get back to some normalcy.
We frequently hear “we aren’t sure who will be coaching this
fall,” but experience shows that over fifty percent of coaches are planning on
coaching in the fall. New coaches may have been waiting for this opportunity
for years.
These three courses can be a positive step forward in an
uncertain time:
