Matthew Vierimaa, a former coach in our league and now at Acadia University is looking for some help for a Graduate Student working with him. Here is his message to you.
“I currently have an Honours student (Juliana LeBlanc) that is conducting a study on female coaches that volunteer with sports that they previously took part in as young athletes. Given the league’s tradition for having former players return as coaches/volunteers, I thought that some of your current coaches could be a great fit. I was hoping that you might consider sharing the recruitment info with some of your coaches that meet the study’s selection criteria.
Juliana is recruiting female volunteer coaches (aged 18+) that currently coach a sport that they previously took part in as a youth athlete. Involvement in the study would include participation in a 45 min. virtual interview about one’s coaching and youth sport experiences. All participants also have the opportunity to win 1 of 3 $50 gift cards.
If anyone is interested learning more about the study and/or is interested in participating, they can contact Juliana LeBlanc at [email protected]. I have included a recruitment poster below.”
Please share this opportunity with other female coaches you may know from other sports leagues around town, so that we can help out Matthew and Juliana.
