Programme timeline

Voices from the past cohort
Paula Korsakas: Instituto Reação, Brazil

Glenn Cundari: PGA of Canada, Canada“Participating in the NSSU Coach Developer Academy was one of themost life changing experiences for me. In the NCDA
I had the privilege to “dive into” a friendly andcollaborative environment, and learn from brilliant
and yet humble professionals from all over the world
who have been dedicating their lives and expertiseto improve the sport experience for all. Beyond afantastic professional exchange, taking part in theNCDA means to engage in a lasting internationalcoach developers network, a real collective wisdom
community. I am forever grateful for the chance to be part of the NCDA
family, for all that I have learned, for the friends am already missing and forthe unparalleled hospitality of our Japanese hosts from Nittaidai.!”"This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has created a momentum that I wasn'texpecting. Three overall observations emerged from theNCDA/ICCE Program; 1) How important it is to have a
global perspective of sport and coach development 2) The
breadth and depth of the content was at a very highlevel and 3) I have forged international relationshipsthat I know will continue much after the program'scompletion.
It is because of my participation that I believe myskills and competencies as a Coach Developer is significantly better. Thisprogram is "a must" if you want to improve as a Coach Developer."Subsidy and costs
