Vulnerability and courage are two facets of a coach’s personality they must possess to be successful. If they wish to form a meaningful and authentic connection with there athletes and others, they serve. The pressure of coaching is real and if you don’t deal with the mental and emotional factors which are involved then your time on the bench will be short lived.    Shawnee Harle is a two-time Olympian as the former Assistant Coach for the Canadian Women’s Basketball Team and is one of the most highly certified basketball coaches in Canada.
