The 2011 NWCA Convention will be held at the Harbor Beach Fort Lauderdale Resort and Spa by Marriott, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The convention sponsored by Asics, Cliff Keen and Resilite, will be held August 4-7, 2011.
The three day convention will be preceded by the NWCA Coaching Leadership Academy August 3-4, with 60 coaches from all divisions completing the training for the third year of the Academy.
As in the past there will be both collegiate and scholastic sessions, including guest clinicians. This year’s featured Clinicians are: Mark Cody head coach at The University of Oklahoma and current NWCA Coach of the Year and Bryan Snyder assistant coach at The University of Nebraska.
This year’s convention will focus on allowing both head and assistant coaches to grow as professionals within the coaching community. High school and college coaches from around the country are encouraged to join in this expansive networking opportunity with other coaches and wrestling companies.
One of the many benefits of the convention is being able to address the governing bodies of the NCAA and the NFHS who will both have staff on site to discuss the new rule changes being implemented for the 2011-12 season, so that coaches can have a better understanding of why the changes were made and how they will be carried out.
Sessions will range in topic from:
Using technology in recruiting
Choosing your team captain and assistant coaches
Laws of performance
Managing your career
Building a successful and sustainable program
All other session topics can be found on the NWCA Convention Page
