OTTAWA – As part of Baseball Canada’s continuous efforts to provide coach education to our members, we are pleased to announce our sixth “Monday Hot Stove” session - an interactive gathering of coaches in a relaxed online environment with a subject matter expert.

On Monday April 27 at 8 p.m. E.T. we are thrilled to welcome Martijn Nijhoff as our featured guest.

An expert in “motor control and movement analysis”, Martijn holds the title of Skills Acquisition Consultant with the Pittsburgh Pirates where he primarily works with coaches and instructors in the Player Development system.

In his native Netherlands, Nijhoff is Manager Talent Coach with the Dutch Olympic Softball & Baseball programs where he spent nine years playing in their professional league. Nijhoff also spent time overseeing all Dutch national youth baseball teams.

Registration is free of charge and coaches can register by hitting “Clinics” via their personal account on nccp.baseball.ca.

The Hot Stove will be one hour long and will get 1 PD point to each certified coach. Please note the session will be in English but a moderator will be present to help with any questions in French.

The Hot Stove is open to 100 coaches only so it’s first come first served. Register NOW and you will receive all details on how to join.
