WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT A STEP UP:

What were the best features of the Symposium?

· Presenters, Personal Interaction, Giving the “Free Agents” and opportunity to sell themselves, Food, Energy and Positivity!

· The Speakers!

· Crisis Management Topic. This was a topic that’s not usually discussed at coaching clinics.

· On the Head Coaches Panel I heard this phrase that has had an incredible impact on me . . . ” LOYALTY above all except HONOR.”

· The intimate feeling of the symposium. It was big enough to have multiple networking opportunities but small enough to really feel vital in each session.

· Having 1st hand knowledge from current NCAA Champions, the discussions at roundtables with other assts opinions, experiences and suggestions.

· The openness of the Symposium as a forum was remarkable. It was easy to meet people at the event and learn from their experiences, both speakers and participants.

· The ability to network with others in the same position.

· Not only the speakers, but the quality of the interaction with colleagues was the highlight. The topics were great, but the conversations around the topics were OUTSTANDING!

· I think one of the best features was the fellowshipping on Sunday. To take time out to be thank God for all that we are and have. And second, the networking and posting of jobs needed and jobs available.

· I would recommend this event to EVERY Assistant Coach/DOBO in the country.

· The Hotel was a nice and I loved that made me feel classy when I was staying there.

· The Directors of Ops. had their own sessions!!
