2 From Lisa & Kenny Dear Gym Owners, All-Star Directors & Coaches, Thank you for attending our 1st ever West Coast Spring Coaches Conference. We would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting this event and taking the opportunity to learn from some of the industry s most talented and accomplished coaches, instructors and cheerleading professionals. We hope that you will take advantage of every opportunity this weekend and will also be able to meet coaches from all across Canada! Please remember that video camera s are permitted in sessions - so video everything you can! We would like to thank all of our amazing speakers for taking the time to come up to Canada and share their knowledge and experiences with us. This is our 1st year hosting a conference in Edmonton, however this fall will mark the 5th year we have hosted Canada s largest Cheerleading conference in Montreal, Quebec in September. With over 20 speakers.. it is truly a national conference with vendors, speakers and coaches attending from coast to coast! If you love your experience with us in Edmonton we hope you will join us again in the fall for even more learning and professional development. There are a number of spirit industry vendors who have also taken the time to join us, so please be sure to visit their booths and learn about them and their products/services. In closing, we would like to thank you again for supporting our conference. We are both very passionate about teaching and developing athletes. Our love of cheerleading has taken us to 25 different countries and has allowed us to spend the last 7 years traveling the world and teaching the sport we love. This conference is our way to give back to YOU the coaches - many of whom have supported our work, and allowed us the privilege of working with their athletes. We hope in some way the material you learn this weekend will help inspire, encourage and motivate you this season. Sincerely, Lisa Aucoin & Kenny Feeley
