In this annual blogpost, we look back on our successes from 2014 and look ahead to our plans and predictions for 2015. Each member of the SLSG team recaps their year and reveals what's ahead for the coming year in terms of emerging trends and developments in sport. Among the highlights we expect: the implementation of the ONCA, a focus on coaching-by-values, developments with the BC Societies Act, and Rachel will be writing a unique and interesting book!
Next month we will be sending a single direct email to our newsletter subscribers announcing a new SLSG service. This service is in addition to the webinar series we are currently launching. We are excited that this service will help organizations - from the club level to the national level - and we hope it will cure sport administrators' headaches across the country. Stay tuned!
