“Surreal. Adapting. Resilient.”

Listen in to how these New Brunswick head coaches describe what COVID has meant for them and their team, and how they plan for an uncertain future. In partnership with the Canadian Sport Centre Atlantic, Coach NB has hosted weekly Zoom calls for full time coaches in NB to discuss current events and brainstorm solutions to the issues experienced across all sports. For this week’s “Coffee & Coaching” session, we recorded and discussed how we’ve been handling our new COVID reality.
