BC Alpine SUMMIT Webinar Series: details announced

We are excited to announce the first two speakers in this year’s webinar series. In previous years we have hosted our Member Summit over several days, but this year we will be offering a series of webinars over the course of the winter. Some will be live and others will be pre-recorded and available on BC Alpine’s YouTube channel. We will cover topics like Professional Development, Safe Sport, Athletic Development and Event Hosting.

Topic #1: Understanding & Developing Your Athlete’s Process

On Wednesday, December 1st at 12:00 PM (PST) we’ll kick things off with a “Jazz-alogical” approach to Understanding and Developing Your Athlete’s Process. Ryan Jazic (Grouse Tyee U16 Head Coach) digs into his vast library of knowledge and experience to bring you a thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining presentation. Everyone is welcome to view Ryan’s presentation on our YouTube channel. Coaches will receive professional development credits when they sign up through SnowReg below:
