Hey!
I am in a situation I have not been in before. I am the XC/TF coach at the high school I work for. There is an athlete at the middle school coming to us next year who is going to run XC and track for us. She never ran XC before, and track at the middle school is not as serious. She is a very good athlete, however, and serious about the sport. I want to make sure I give her every opportunity to be successful.
Does anyone have any experience coaching a deaf athlete? What sort of accommodations do you make for them, especially when you can't give them verbal cues? She does have an interpreter, who has been awesome. XC is new to them also.
