As well, Jean-Paul talks about Diversity Panel she will chair as part of Friday’s conference, and of the work being done by the newly-formed Black Canadian Coaches Association.
There’s also plenty of time to talk Canada West women’s basketball as Jean-Paul speaks to the efforts her young Spartans are making as they continue to build team culture through these tough and demanding times.
