A very special thank-you to Dr. Arthur Popp for our second virtual workshop entitled "Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Skills in Varsity and Youth Sports". Tonight's well-attended presentation was a "home run" in so many ways- evidenced-based and practical information, great case examples, and audience participation and questions. Dr. Popp allowed us to finish our current SCPA workshop series on a motivational note with themes of mindfulness and personal best that benefit our various personal and professional roles.
Just wanted to share with you the Magic of the NBA! I feel like I have a super power now with the “Next Best Alternative”. I had a situation yesterday that could have gone south…fast. By using the NBA tool, the situation ended up being a positive one. I was actually thanked for having provided an alternative/solution/game plan. The whole conversation ended with all parties happy, because I had taken the time to consciously think out an NBA. Thanks again for the great meeting…and my new super power.
[Your coordination with parents and opposing coaches] has been…a big help in managing the Blue Bandits [grades 3-6]…looking forward to your taking over the 7th-9th grade Blue Dragons in the spring [of 2017] and applying your clinical skills.
