Coach Education & Leadership
Mentorship by UNBC assistant coaches Joanne Bray and Kieran Large and varsity players, with program design by Neil Sedgwick and Steve Simonson.
"We don't run these programs so players come to UNBC. We develop them because we believe so strongly in our methodology, the technical foundations of posture, a consistent language and the activities we use to expand the young athlete's belief in themselves."
