WEBINAR

I had to take a webinar for IMPACT Certification.  IMPACT stands for Increased Mastery and Professional Application of Coaching Theory.  This was a two day webinar that was offered/required through USA Volleyball and I had to pass to have coaching eligibilities.  Some of the class was boring, but other areas sparked good questions and conversations in the sidebar.  There were a few main speakers during the webinar and it was hosted by the head of our region, Jimmy Peden.


This is the second time I have taken IMPACT, but was my first experience on Webinar.  I liked that I could be at home, doing whatever I wanted, wearing whatever I wanted and commenting whenever I wanted.  Some of the topics included: Coaching Principles/Foundations, Motor Skill Learning Theory, Communication and Feedback, Ethic and Legal Duties, Fundamental Skills, basic Games and Drills, brief overview of Offensive/Defensive Organization of systems, brief overview of Practice and Drill design.


My favorite part of these clinics is learning new phrases and wording that may help a player who just doesn't get it the way I say it.  It also talks about some motivation and expectation techniques.
