Jason Reindl is the Head Coach for Track and Field and Cross Country at the University of Saskatchewan. Jason cites his decision to pursue his MHPCTL as, “I have always wanted to be the best coach that I could be and knew early on that completing my masters in the HPCTL program would be a huge step in that process. While coaching education and professional development are never ending, this degree allowed me to take a huge developmental leap forward as a coach. I believe this leap has been instrumental in the success of athletes and teams that I have the privilege of working with at the university, provincial, and national team levels.” To find a program that aligned with his professional coaching schedule was extremely important, and Jason states that the MHPCTL was exactly what he was looking for. The MHPCTL degree allowed Jason to be employed and coach full time, while also still enrolled in the program. Furthermore, the program allowed Jason to complete his NCCP Advanced Coaching Diploma, a graduate certificate, and most importantly, a Master’s in high performance coaching and technical leadership from a renowned institution.
Through the program, Jason reflects that he has gained an abundance of applicable information that is significantly different than what he was implementing prior to his involvements with the MHPCTL. “From the new ways of thinking around talent identification, gold medal profiling, gap analysis, and developing a more systematic approach to the athlete development process, these areas continue to be mainstays in my coaching practice today,” he states.
When asked if he would recommend the MHPCTL, he says “Absolutely. I believe that the MHPCTL program at UBC is the best in the nation and is best in class in its approach to development of world leading coaches. Any coach who is looking to take a huge step forward in their coaching practice would be wise to consider the program. UBC is a world-renowned institution and they have done an amazing job of implementing a best in class coach education program that I am proud to be a graduate of.”
