Note
I am really excited: an anonymous donation has provided funding for Erin to work full time on junior development and coaching for a year. Starting immediately. THANK YOU!
I've been talking with Erin regularly, and I am so impressed at the ideas he has, the way he incorporates feedback, the way he pays attention to so many different aspects of developing juniors. I think it's going to be great having him on board. I hope you all will talk with him and welcome him to this position and give him whatever advice and encouragement you can!
There are so many things I've heard Erin say that really ring true for me. What it means to be an athlete (see ONA, for example; I've just realized the digital edition has been out for 12 days now). How working with each kid is different. The importance of having fun. etc etc etc
