WORK HISTORY
Technical Director Consultant @Pga Of Canada
CA
Successfully juggled the fast-growing, dynamic, multi-stakeholder environment of being at the helm of the technical development and delivery of Canada\'s most prominent sports teaching and coaching framework.With a strong team, I effectively led the complex task of transitioning the technical content from the PGA of Canada teaching and coaching framework from an internal model to inclusion in the Coaching Association of Canada\'s National Certification Program.Being a student of the science and art of facilitation and applying crucial adult learning principles has been an essential part of my career. Having delivered over 450 full-day coaching workshops, I still have a fire in my belly to thrive and learn more. As the PGA of Canada\'s Master Coach Developer, I have the privilege of leading a team of accomplished coach developers who deliver various coaching contexts; I\'m pretty sure I learn more from them.I love the speed of change in \"today\'s world.\" Like everyone, I\'m forced to bend into a pretzel to stay up-to-date and develop golf coaching content with the most modern technology with the most relevant people while balancing fiscal and administrative constraints. It\'s an ongoing challenge that I embrace.Key people I have and continue to work closely with include National coaches, sport psychologists, strength and conditioning coaches, curriculum writers and instructional designers, equipment specialists and senior administrators.

ABOUT GLENN CUNDARI
At the end of the day, my job involves people. People and relationships are complicated. Coaching and sport can be hectic and stressful. I love leaning into the chaos - without being chaotic. Coaches are not a series of workshops but people who want to build relationships with others who understand their situation. I love coaches. I love spending time with coaches. Investing time and energy in their growth is what makes me tick.We know we all could be doing more to support those who are the face of sport to athletes, administrators and families, but it\'s difficult with limited time and strategy. The good news is that this is precisely what I do; work closely with sport leaders to support them in developing their coaches.Imagine a coach having their own coach. Someone who continually asks, “What would you like to learn more about?” and ends every conversation with “What do you need from me?” That’s me.This isn\'t about leaps and bounds of mind-blowing improvement over short periods. We measure success in nudges, many nudges; manageable, fun, calculated, planned (and even some unplanned) nudges, but we never take our eye off the ball. I’m a fire starter of learning, and then together, we manage raging infernos.I don’t stay up late pondering new and creative ways to support sport leaders to win awards, but if I happen to be a previous Coaching Association of Canada, Coach Developer of the Year, I might as well tell you, right? I’m the proud owner of a robust Rolodex - younger readers may have to Google what that is. Working in 29 countries has allowed me the incredible opportunity to learn what I believe is the essential consideration when partnering with coaches and organizations – making every effort to learn and work in their context. Context matters and I am dedicated to learning as much as possible about it. I have worked alongside gold-standard organizations such as the International Council for Coaching Excellence, Special Olympics International and the PGA of America. Still, I continue to invest in small local youth volleyball, soccer and curling clubs.I am a global leader and a local champion, and I anticipate our conversations will be remarkable.
