PSA "Joy of Coaching" Submissions Appeal
« on: March 12, 2011, 09:24:58 AM »
Just opened my copy of the PSA Magazine and saw a half-page advertisement appealing for skaters' personal stories about their coaches.


PSA TO CELEBRATE 75TH ANNIVERSARY WITH BOOK ABOUT COACHES

Do you remember your first skating lesson?
Who taught you an axel?
How did your coach change your skating and your life?


The Professional Skaters Association want to hear your stories about your coaches.  The PSA is inviting skaters to contribute their personal stories for a book celebrating the group's 75th anniversary.  The book, to be published in 2013, will tell the story of the PSA and how it grew from a small group of committed coaches into a 6,400-member education and certification organization.

The Joy of Coaching will be produced by the PSA headquarters staff and a team of researchers and writers led by Patricia Hagen, an Indiana-based coach, author and journalist.  It will include essays, memories, anecdotes and photos submitted by skaters and coaches.  If you would like to submit a story for consideration by the book's editors, or if you have a question about the book, send an email to psa75years@yahoo.com.
