Comp-Dev Sport Specific Training

This component of the Comp-Dev Program is not available at this time. When it is ready it will be piloted and delivered by our national sport organization, Cross Country Canada.Prerequisite: Comp-Int certification in cross-country skiing (this requires completion of the T2T (On-Snow) workshop, Comp-Int MED on-line evaluation and T2T Coaching Experience Form).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Coaches at the Comp-Dev level will be required to keep a "portfolio" that records their progress as they work their way through this context. If you are starting into this program, it is important to keep a record of each assignment you complete or 'event"' you undertake - where was it held, when was it held, who was the facilitator or evaluator, etc.
