Coaching Sessions

We are very excited to provide participants with an optional Coaching Round during the 2022 Russell Investments International Case Competition!

The Coaching Round is designed to provide teams an opportunity to practice their presentation before a “friendly” audience that provides only feedback, no scoring, to help you prepare for the competition. The coaching pool is made up of Foster School Faculty and Community Members who are experienced in case competitions, and eager to help your team succeed. These coaches can provide feedback and questions in the areas that you will be judged; analysis, presentation/style and Q&A.

Coaching sessions will take place on Friday, November 18th at Paccar Hall, 2nd Floor Team Rooms from 9:30 - 1:00 PM. This is a great chance to practice your presentation before you turn in your PowerPoint at 6:00 PM.

Teams may register for a coaching session when they register for the competition. Space and availability in the Coaching Round is limited to 24 teams, so please sign up early!
