This letter of recommendation is written for Erin Lonsdale with much pleasure. Erin has great potential to make a positive impact on those she surrounds herself with. I have been extremely impressed by her coaching abilities at Dover Bay Secondary School, as well as her teaching practicum in Healthy Living 8. As a school teacher at Dover Bay, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Erin while we coached the Jr Girls Soccer Team and while she had a practicum teaching my grade 8s. Erin displayed a strong level of confidence in adapting her methods of coaching to younger grades. Her likeable personality, clear instruction, with strong problem-solving skills was an asset to the team. She shows genuine interest in her players which aids in engaging all members of the team. In addition to her skills as a coach, Erin also demonstrated a high level of professionalism. She showed professionalism in language and timeliness on a consistent basis, which was especially important while coaching a junior team. Erin is respectful to everyone she meets, which in turn has earned her the respect from others. Erin is a kind and responsible individual who is transferring her confidence as a coach, into teaching. I give Erin my highest recommendation and would be happy to communicate directly, should additional information be needed. Sincerely,
Danielle Nichol Teacher at Dover Bay Secondary School, SD68 danielle.nichol@sd68.bc.ca
