“Since 1974, more than two million coaches and coach developers (CDs) have been trained through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) to develop their coaching skills and improve the performance of their athletes and participants at all levels of sport.” Most Canadians are familiar with the role of the coach; few are aware of the CD role and its potential to contribute to a robust sport system. The authors build a compelling case for women (and others) to consider CD training as a viable option to rewarding and meaningful involvement through the NCCP. – Sheila Robertson, Journal Editor.
