Vanessa Rincones: How to Organize and Coach Remote Teams
Using technology it is possible to be able to share and contribute knowledge that helps the development and growth of our sport and keep the flame alive in countries that do not have the possibility of having resources as easy as others. Understand that believing is creating and when you work from the heart and help it is possible to achieve it. After knowing how the process has been with the teams in Venezuela, I am sure that you will never say it is not possible again and you will have the desire to collaborate with remote projects.
