Speaker: Vicki Harber
About Vicki: Vicki is Professor Emeritus at the University of Alberta from the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport & Recreation.

This pandemic is asking a lot of us as human beings, and many of us are feeling uncertain and drained, even as we feel excited to begin to shift from lock-down to Return to Ringette.
As you consider how best to re-engage with the athletes you care about, you might be asking yourself some of these questions:
● How have I been personally affected by COVID-19?
● How do I feel about returning to ringette?
● In what ways can I support my athletes to ensure they are physically, socially, and emotionally ready to return to ringette?
We are inviting ringette coaches from coast to coast to join us for a Courageous Conversation for Coaches.
