Members of the USAPL and former members of the coaching committee. In early July the chairs of the committee felt that in the best interest of the coaching committee we needed to reduce the number of voting members on our committee. The voting membership had exceeded 20 members and was becoming cumbersome in terms of voting and decision-making. We also felt that the mission of the committee had moved away from its intent as we found ourselves spending more time discussing policy and procedural matters. We had informed members of our intentions to dismantle the committee and start over with a smaller voting population. Some members we very gracious in stepping down. Others were a bit dismayed which we completely understand. It is our intention to get our committee back on track to follow its mission which is to educate the coaches and lifters of our membership. We will still handle the procedural nominations of lifters and team coaches with the final decisions being made by the EC.
In order to fill the voting positions now vacant on the Coaches committee we are accepting resumes of individuals interested in serving on this committee. We are looking for members that have a specific area of interest and experience of coaching, Juniors, Women, and/or Masters. Educational backgrounds in the life sciences, education, or physical education would be beneficial. We are looking to fill 5-7 voting positions.
The description of projects that currently lay before us include: Work on and development of a coaching certification program, write coaching articles for the newsletter and PLUSA (usaplcorner), develop and present regional (in your area) coaching clinics, revaluate and incorporate the coaching evaluations, vote in the nominations process for coaches and be involved in the production of lists of all the national team's automatic and alternate lifters based on current qualifying standards. If you have an interest in these topics and feel you are qualified please forward your resume to Rob Wagner at rawple@aol.com. If you prefer to snail mail send an email and I will reply with an address.
