d. Cyndi would like ALP’s members to become coaches; she also clarified a few regarding certification of becoming a coach: if athlete is a head coach, he/she cannot participate in that particular competition; however, if the athlete is an assistant coach, he/she may compete in the competition; example: Blaine is head coach for golf, so he cannot compete in golf competition; decides he wants to be an assistant coach and he is then able to compete in competitions (attached is the coaching reminders for everyone)
