Spreading the Word


Our good friend Jock does leadership training and consulting. He was recently at a meeting for a healthcare company. Their dinner one night had a sports theme and they were supposed to wear the shirt of their favorite sports team. Well, Jock work his Ubuntu Sports Outreach shirt! How awesome is that?!?! What a great way to spread the word about the work we are doing!

TREC Experience

Last week Andy and I had an opportunity to be part of a coaching course called TREC: Training, Resourcing, and Equipping Coaches. This was provided by our friends at Ambassadors in Sport. It was a 5 day coaching experience that mixed a normal coaching course with sports ministry training. There were about 4o students from all sorts of different backgrounds. Obviously there were a lot of South Africans but also a few other Americans, an Englishmen, 3 Germans, and an Australian. The diversity made for such an interesting environment.
Although the soccer was very basic, because it was Level 1, it was such a great week. TREC is something that we are hoping ALL of our Ubuntu coaches will go through eventually. Because of that we thought it was important for us to experience it first.
And, you can be encouraged, I did score a '1' on my coaching assessment, which is the highest score, so I do know what I'm doing!
