Hi! I'm the founder of a company called, The Coaching Experience. I teach coaches how to step into their true potential as leaders in the demanding culture of athletics. My unique approach to coaching coaches, combined with the simple and clear systems I teach, will help you think more strategically about HOW you do WHAT you do as a coach. I'm passionate about working with coaches to give you useful tools, clear steps to take, and tons of support throughout the ups and downs of each season. - Erica Quam In addition to working with coaches at multi-day coaching summits, I've created online training programs, and led virtual coaching workshops for coaches to get a higher level of support all season long. I transitioned into this new role in 2011, after a 15-year career within collegiate athletics. I worked with Olympic medalists, NCAA All-Americans, and guided close to 200 young men and women along their collegiate athletic careers - in the sport of swimming. The Coaching Experience has been my way to elevate the coaching profession & support the community of coaches who are making a huge difference changing the lives of the young men and young women through sports. I'm dedicated to supporting athletic coaches. There are the X's and O's - the technical aspects of coaching. Then there are these 'soft skills' that no one teaches you: personal development, leadership, and building a team. These are the areas to really focus in on to get results - in athletics and in life. This is my passion! In addition to coaching coaches, my wife, Kerry and I opened up the Prime Sports Institute in Bellingham, Washington in October 2018. It's a mutli-disciplinary sports clinic to help athletes and active people in this community feel, move, and perform better! We love where we live and try to get out and play - in the pacific northwest - every chance that we get!
