This episode marks the one year anniversary of our podcast! We've had some fantastic coaches on the show who’ve shared great experiences for all of us to learn from. We’re spoiled today because we don’t just have one coach on the show; we have three successful College coaches with us: Keith Vassell of Niagara College, Jonathan Smith of George Brown College and Jamie Girolametto of Redeemer University. They all agreed to take some time, sit down together and talk about coaching and the game of basketball the night before their conference championship tournament kicks off. It's always interesting when multiple coaches get together to talk about their craft. You’d think they would be very competitive and unwilling to share too many details about their philosophies. That's not the case with these guys, they share some great insights that can help coaches of all levels. ------------------- Help us celebrate encouraging coaches - nominate someone who deserves recognition www.coachcallstimeout.com/stories. ------------------- Start your 7 day free trial with Coach Calls Timeout: www.coachcallstimeout.com/register/membership.

This week was our Spring Fundraiser at CIUT 89.5FM, but we still managed to make a proper show! The podcast here posted has all the 'call in now!' stuff cut out and we did an extended after-show to make it back to full-length but the result is some occasionally choppiness so please excuse. That aside, it was a great show and we think you'll love it! Angela Bischoff from the OCAA joins us at the top of the show to discuss some news and also talk about the complete waste of money (not to mention HUGE public safety hazard) Pickering Nuclear plant. Tim Nash - The Sustainable Economist joins us later in the program to preview his spot next week about the most recent Renewable Investment Scoreboard Report (sneak preview.. it tops $7 Billion this year). This is just a brief!
