Coaching Manitoba’s Shannon Gander will lead this workshop. The Managing Conflict module will allow you to:

• identify common sources of conflict in sport;
• determine which individuals or groups are most likely to find themselves in situations involving conflict;
• learn important skills that will help you prevent and solve conflict resulting from misinformation, miscommunication or misunderstanding;
• develop skills that will empower you to listen and speak effectively in conflict situations while maintaining positive relationships with athletes, parents, officials and other coaches.

This course is an NCCP module and coaches will receive credit for completing this module.
