We would like to welcome our two new coaches, Franchesca Garcia and Tiffany Lau. Additionally, we are pleased to announce we will be having 12 new volunteer coaches this season with another 12 in the onboarding process.
Our new additions join a coaching team of over 20 instructors and over 50 volunteer coaches, serving 500 participants this spring. Not only do they allow for more participants to take the program, but they are responsible for establishing a strong relational climate and an engaging learning environment for our participant. According to our most recent survey,
- 96% of our participants felt their coaches cared about them
- 97% said their coaches kept them engaged and active
- 96% said their coaches improved their life skills
- 92% said their coaches improved their golf skills
First Tee – Silicon Valley coaches go through 4 trainings within the year where we practice our golf and life skill curriculum, develop strategies for activity-based learning and mix in developmental relationship tools from the Search Institute and Positive Coaching Alliance.
Making a difference is best done as a team, and we are fortunate to have a strong and growing team of coaches leading the way.
