Anonymous student-athlete surveys often catch a coach off-guard. This 90-minute interactive Zoom session was designed by veteran NCAA coach Becky Carlson to help coaches navigate this process. This session will include large group teaching, break-out rooms, case studies for problem-solving, and creative activities to help coaches process the information. Molly Grisham, former college coach and current consultant, will moderate the call. Register here.

Who should attend:

This session is ideal for Fall and Winter sport coaches who desire to prepare in advance of next year's surveys. Spring coaches with surveys and evaluations fast approaching will also benefit.

Why you should attend:

Anonymous student-athlete surveys are difficult for coaches to talk about because they usually are void of details and force coaches into a defensive stance. This process leaves coaches guessing and trying to provide answers without context. Many times Administrators approach anonymous surveys as a tool for feedback. The reality is, information with context creates confusion.

Coach Carlson will teach participants how to navigate this process in a healthy and productive way.

Additional details:

• We will limit the registration to 25 coaches to allow for everyone to be heard. If needed we will add additional sessions.

• We will not be recording the session to protect the confidentiality of the coaches.

• Refunds will not be offered for cancellations or no-shows.

• We will meet on April 27th, 2022, from 7:00pmEST - 8:30pmEST.

Life is an endless series of transitions. These transitions can at times be filled with anticipation and excitement and at other times can produce anxiety and fear. At this half day retreat we will pause to reflect and explore this particular season of transition by tending to ourselves. Much of our process will be introspective and reflective. We will gather as a large group in a Circle of Trust and utilize readings and creative processes provided by the Center for Courage and Renewal. We will spend additional time in small group and individual work. Our time together will offer a reflective space in the context of a supportive community allowing us to engage questions and think deeply about this season of transition. Additionally, there is a labyrinth on campus that participants are encouraged to use.

Molly Grisham is a trained facilitator in the Geography of Grace series by The Center for Courage and Renewal.

This half day retreat will be hosted at the Peace Tree Center in St. Louis. You can learn more and register here: A Season of Transition: Tending the Garden of Your Soul
