Connecticut Recreation & Parks Association Annual Conference Keynote Shares Everyday Life Lessons Learned on the Court
Delano, MN (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- Landscape Structures Inc., a Delano, Minn.-based commercial playground equipment manufacturer, along with its Connecticut playground consultant, M.E. O’Brien & Sons, Inc., will exhibit at the 2013 Connecticut Recreation and Parks Association (CRPA) Annual Conference Nov. 25-26, at the Mohegan Sun Hotel & Convention Center. The conference will feature Paul Assaiante, Trinity College squash and tennis coach, as the keynote speaker. This learning experience was made possible through the 2013-2014 State Association Speaker Scholarship program from Landscape Structures.
As Trinity College’s squash and tennis coach, Assaiante has won 13 straight national championships and a record 252 consecutive matches since March 1998. As the squash coach at West Point, Williams and Trinity, he has a career record of 430-88; his Trinity record after 17 seasons is 307-14, a stunning 95.6 percent winning rate. No other team in any collegiate sport has achieved this. In 2010, Assaiante co-authored Run to the Roar: Coaching to Overcome Fear, a unique reflection on mentoring and leadership. Assaiante’s session at the CRAP Annual Conference will impart the insights and experiences that have made him a master coach, and will share with attendees how to apply lessons learned on the court to everyday life.
Assaiante’s 60-minute session will be presented at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 25. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to visit M.E. O’Brien & Sons and Landscape Structures in the exhibit hall later on Monday to learn about the latest trends in playground design including custom and theme designs.
