PHILLIPS SPORTS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

2021-2022

 

NEW SCHOOL YEAR, NEW LOOK

 

The Phillips Sports Leadership Academy takes on a new look in 2021-22.

After a productive partnership with the Janssen Leadership Centre, one that helped launch the Phillips Sports Leadership Academy, we will conduct our own programming moving forward.

Jon Crossland, head coach of the REDS women’s soccer team, and Sarah Hilworth, head coach of the REDS women’s hockey team, remain the PSLA’s lead facilitators, and will provide content, instruction and guidance through all levels of the Academy.
