What is the philosophy of RSAC and your program?
‘Life Artistry’ is the basis of the RSAC Coaching philosophy.
The Coaching philosophy mirrors the personal one of the founding Executive Director. Coaching goes beyond the training mat to teach young athletes that being an ‘elite player’ is a huge responsibility.
An 'elite player' covers attitude at home, academics, and being socially responsible in addition to sport performance.
High importance is placed on the extra attributes of the athlete for example: mannerisms, dress for events, first impressions when meeting Coaches, standing for our National Anthem and how to present themselves on social media.
