Last weekend I had the privilege of seeing Coach Heather Tarr and Coach JT of the University of Washington in action here in Hawaii. The clinic for the girls was pretty fun to watch and there was quite a good turnout which was nice to see. But the real treat for me was the coaches clinic on Sunday night after the player’s sessions were over.
Honestly, I hadn’t planned on going. The coaches clinic was late on Sunday evening at a place about an hour away from where I live and I had to wake up at 5:00am the next morning. However, I got a call from Coach Tony (the coach I’ve worked with for years at Kapolei) encouraging me to come to the clinic. I also have to thank Coach Kent of Chaminade University for making it all possible!
I ended up talking to my husband – I wasn’t about to drive all that way at night by myself – and we both went to the clinic. It started at 7pm and we didn’t leave there until after 10pm. Listening to both coaches and and their players (via video) was super cool. I honestly could not believe how much energy they both had after two long days of clinic sessions at the field! It was impressive and cool.
I can honestly say, that I’ve never been to any type of coaches clinic and been disappointed. Even if I had no idea what I’d be getting out of it or had no idea what the philosophy or the strengths of the speakers were, I have always come away happy I went! ANY time you have a chance to attend a clinic or a camp, especially where speakers or instructors have something to say specifically for coaches, take advantage of it! I only wish there were more clinics and camps closer to home that I could get to more often!
