Celia on Lynn:
“When I first met Lynn I could immediately feel her passion for the coaching profession. I asked Lynn to serve on my staff for the assistant program to serve as a mentor because she has tremendous experience as a coach, administrator, fundraiser and team builder. She also brings the unique and rare perspective of a female that has successfully coached men. Lynn’s experience and passion is a huge asset to our already amazing team of faculty. You know immediately that Lynn understands the demands of coaching and you also know she believes it is one of the most important, influential careers/professions out there. She knows from all her experience of working with coaches at every level, that this Immersion Program is very important in the development of our next generation of head coaches and she is excited to be a part of the team!”
