Where are we going?

Technology, data, and virtual engagement are both drivers and distractors.

30

Virtual vs In Person COVID instantaneously required every human to learn how to engage virtually.

How do you coach from afar through a screen and still make an impact?

Problem that we are all solving right now.

31

Digital Platforms Tools that allow you to build, track, communicate, and engage your athletes with your training programs.

Video CommunicationProgram Design and DeliveryData Capture

32

Data Utilization More and more information will be captured during games, practices, training sessions, and rest.

How much is the right amount?How do you make sense of it all?Do you use it to make changes to your coaching?

33

Social MediaFlash vs Substance

How do we connect in a world where Social Media is key without drowning out fundamental principles.
