Episode 22: Season 4 Episode 22 2024 Presenter Heather Mason- “Transparency Is Gold”

CVASPS The Podcast

I could not be more fired up to welcome Heather Mason to The Podcast and introduce her as our 5th presenter for this summer edition of The Central Virginia Sport Performance Seminar. Heather is one of the true trailblazers in the field and one of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with in the world of performance. Her unique experience has help her develop a great system, not just in developing athletes, but also developing the next generations of coaches. Throughout the 30-minute discussion Heather and I get into:

1) Continuity’s role in building a department.

2) Incentives role in professional development and program growth, and how they have built a model that allows their coaches to have upward growth

3) How individualizing their coaches continuing education has helped drive their entire staff forward

4) The positives and negatives of social media’s role in our vocation

5) Diversifying your educational modalities to help find better ways to be a coach

As I said on the show, having Heather on the show and her as on the docket for The Seminar has been a long time coming, and am super grateful for he, not just taking the time to be on the show, but for all she’s done to help drive this profession forward. She has been leading from the front for longer for her entire career, and what she’s doing up in Columbus is no exception to that. I hope you found value in the show, and if you did please feel free to share this episode with a collogue that you feel would enjoy it, and please don’t forget to subscribe and give us a 5-star review on your favorite podcast player. I truly do appreciate it.
