Art of Coaching Tampa Clinic

I was lucky enough this past weekend to attend an Art of Coaching Volleyball Clinic at the University of Tampa Florida.  I loved the sessions and will be sharing the information I learned with the athletes in my sessions.  If you are a coach and you ever get a chance to attend one of their clinics do it.  It was time well spent.

Exam Time in the Gym

Exam time in the gym

The Ecole Canadienne-Francaise on 2320 Louise Avenue is the gym which is currently the home gym for the Canadian Elite Academy.  This is called the quiet week of 2020 because it is the time that we cannot use the gym for four days as they schedule exams at that time and we cannot use the gym.  However, our Friday session is still happening so if you are a basketball player read below and register for it.
The only session we are running this week is the Basketball Rebounding Session on Friday, January 31, 7:30-8:30 and then pickup games from 8:30-10:30.

On Monday, the World Health Organization’s Regional Office of Europe dove deep into the art world. In a new report, it channeled its considerable power and resources towards investigating whether art really could be a powerful form of medicine — ultimately suggesting art can be therapeutic, and boosting its credibility in the process.

Children should not stop playing sport in run up to exams as it has no impact on results, study suggests

Parents should not stop children playing sport in the run-up to exams because it has no impact on results, a new study suggests. Taking part in competitive team games in the run-up to GCSE and A-level exams will have no negative effects on a teenager’s grades, according to research commissioned by the Headmasters’ & Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC).

The study analyzed the GCSE results of 1,482 male and female students from 19 independent schools and examined the effect that participation in sports such as badminton, cricket, hockey, netball, rugby, and tennis had on their results. Professor Peter Clough, head the Psychology department at Huddersfield University who carried out the research, found that contrary to what some parents believe, “sports involvement does not appear to have any negative implications” on results. He told The Daily Telegraph: “Overall, taking part in sport appears to have a lot of positive impacts. There is no evidence that people involved in sport get any worse GCSE results.
