A great feeder program was developed and of course as we have all been told and hopefully most of us are intelligent enough to realize classes or lessons keep your program going. So with this comes the two concepts or ideas that have apparently been going on and on for years in our sport. As well as a how do we add certain appealing features to our sport. The sooner all coaches, no matter what level they think they are at, realize that they would not be coaching at that level if it was not for those kids walking in wanting to learn to dive, and the coach who is scared that they will lose divers as a result of the training centers, the better we will all be. If we learn to organize our programs with the strong lesson base then we develop a natural feeder program for our competitive teams.
Every parent wants the best for their child and every child has dreams of being the best.
No matter what happens, that diver will always remember who got them where they are. We all know we don't coach for the money. So why the concern then if a diver achieves that level that we want them to achieve that we will lose them. So if we develop our programs from the ground up then we all continue to love what we do, still be able to eat and watch our sport grow as it hasn't and should be. As far as adding the entertainment value to our sport,if we do that then the sponsors will come.
