Thursday, September 9, 1971 Sports was chosen because board members recognized the high cost of poor physical fitness in terms of increased medical expense, lost proâ€" ductivity and the reduced enjoyment of life among Canadians. Reports resulting from the Symposium will be available to anyone interested through a memâ€" bership in the Coaching Association of Canada. Films made at the event will also be available and hopefully, shown on cable television. The $50,000 idea originated with the Mutual Life board of directors. Concerned with the need to advance fitness levels and help amateur sports in Canada, the board set up a study on the topic. It will provide a structure on which Canada can build a continuing and efficient coaching plan, hopefully resulting in a successful effort at the Montreal Olympiad in 1976, the Sympoâ€" sium directors said. But successful atheletes are trained from childhood and that‘s where the Symposium dirâ€" ectors plan to start. By training coaches involved with minor hockey, baseball, high school teams the directors hope to help everyone by making Canadians successful atheletes and physically fit individuals. Bringing together coaching experts from all over the world it will result in a report including the secrets of effective coaching, and answers to problems facing Canadian coaches. The Symposium organizers have predicted the number and quality of athletes will improve in Canada as data generated by the event spreads â€"‘‘*With the increase in number and quality of athletes at the grass roots level, competition will become stiffer at provincial, regional and national levels. This will bring out the country‘s best possible representation at international meets.‘"‘ a Symposium report said. . If you‘re having trouble coaching the peewee hockey team, your high school football players or the junior girl‘s volleyball team, don‘t worry. Help is on the way. It will come in the form of a report distributed sometime after Oct. 5 as the result of an Interâ€" national Symposium on the Art and Science of Coaching. The Symposium, sponsored by the Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada with headquartâ€" ers in Waterloo, will be held at the Fitness Instiâ€" tute in Toronto, from Oct. 1 to 5. The Coaching Associatiou said the funds spent in this area would be "seed‘‘ money, having a far greater effect on more Canadians over a longer period of time than spending devoted to one sports area. Since sports affects every nine out of 10 perâ€" sons, the board felt it could help the most numâ€" ber of people i: this way.
