1: COACHING INSTRUCTION AND ROOM COMMAND

Effective communication skills are paramount to the tool box of any successful coach. Interns will be taught the foundational principles of cueing, feedback, and motor learning. A premium will be placed on getting as many coaching reps as possible during the course of the internship to practice these skills and develop the interns coaching voice.
