Quotations:
“As a highly passionate expert in Canada Safe Sport Movement, I feel strongly that there has been a lack of support, tools and resources available to coaches. To navigate a new era of safe sports, coaches must receive the same level of support and attention as our athletes. Education is important, and I applaud CAO and Hydro One for providing the resources needed for trainers. Alison Forsythfounder of Generation Safe and former Canadian Olympic alpine skier.
“While I was an Olympic gold medal coach CanadaMost of my training has been at the community level with youth and professional athletes. The foundation of being a great coach is built on your passion for helping others, proper coaching and teaching. These tools and other supports such as mentoring and coaching networks have been invaluable to my development as a coach and have helped me succeed on and off the field.” Barry ShipleyCanadian Olympic Triathlon Coach.
“Coaches play an important role in shaping the environment and experience for all participants. Research shows that a positive coach is one of the most influential people in a young person’s life. With so many Ontarians coaching in their communities, it is essential that the training and support our coaches need is in place to create the best experience “possible.” – Jeremy CrossExecutive Director of CAO.
