The 3D Coaching workshop our entire coaching staff at Chillicothe High School participated in was extremely valuable for us. It opened the eyes and inspired our young coaches and veteran coaches as well to be great leaders of athletes and be a positive influence in impacting many lives as a coach. The 3D Coaching workshop directly applied to every coach as it did not focus on the X and O's of a particular sport, but focused on motivating student athletes in a positive way. This area is a huge challenge for coaches when dealing with the modern day athlete. Veteran and young coaches alike on our staff commented to me that it was a very valuable use of their time and they were glad that they had attended after the workshop was over. Wes is a great speaker and interacted with our coaches in an engaging manner. The 3D Coaching workshop material focusing on building a TEAM in a positive way will be implemented by many of our coaches.

I was able to self reflect on my coaching over the years. I had the opportunity to read the book last year and take the course this summer. It allowed me to look over the notes I highlighted from the book while watching the videos. I also liked the spiritual reflection with Jeff and Mark to take it to another dimension. I had a purpose statement prior to the course as required by the Minnesota State High School League after hearing Dr. Jeff Duke speak in person, had the opportunity to meet him and started this journey. After taking this course I revised my purpose statement with much more meaning. Overall a sense of self-reflection to become a whole coach in the 3-dimensions. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this course to other coaches! I think it is a course that every coach should take and reflect back before every season. I know I will continue to grow as a coach and teacher for the betterment of my players and students. I plan to share with enthusiasm the ideas with other coaches to encourage them to start or take their journey to another level.

This course allows the coach to be more than just a sport-specific coach, but in many ways a life coach as well. Learning specific techniques of how to care and show compassion for my students, and show what I need to fix for myself in order to make myself and (more importantly) my students succeed inside and outside the classroom was the most valuable part.

This course is a guide to where I want to be as a coach. Everything becomes so clear in these presentations. It shows what I have felt, but what I have not been able to articulate. I would absolutely recommend this course, and I already have contacted coaches and AD's from other schools. It is an easy to follow, eye opening program.

Professional development is a necessity for educators and coaches. We all must continue to learn, grow, and exchange ideas with others. However, the focus of those sessions rarely reaches the personal level that it should. 3D Coaching does. When our coaches experienced 3D Coaching, there was substantial growth that took place. 3Dimensional Coaching focuses on the connections with kids and with people. It challenges coaches to get to the heart of an athlete. In my experience to date, I have not been a part of a more valuable professional development. As a result of this content, we implemented 3D Coaching Sessions that all coaches were welcome to attend. We met once a week for the remainder of the school year and are still doing so this summer. Those of us regulars have gotten a great deal from it. We have grown as coaches, and as people. I can't stress enough how beneficial 3Dimensional Coaching can be for you, your department or coaching staff.<blockquote style=margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; border: currentcolor; border-image-source: none;>Jason Kurz

In my 27 years as a coach and/or athletic administrator, I have not witnessed anything as beneficial and powerful for our kids & coaches as the 3D Coaching!! The concepts of 3D speak to the essence of why coaches coach as well as how to win the heart of athletes. If you want to experience the best possible professional development as a coach, 3D Coaching is a must!

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this course to other coaches. I wish both of my girls were only coached by 3D coaches. So many coaches only coach on the first dimension and as a parent it is frustrating. This has opened my eyes as a parent and a coach to look at all dimensions and to remember NOT to take the FUN out of the competition!

There are many, many valuable things about this course. Perhaps the most valuable is the thought put into why I am coaching, and how to coach moving forward. But the practical steps on how to be a 2nd and 3rd dimension coach are just as valuable. I don't know where I else I would find those resources or know how to implement them. I also deeply value the 3rd dimension talk relating our purpose to our service of Christ. It is inspiring and I find myself watching it or listening to it over and over. This course provides specific direction and inspiration, and dare I say peace of mind of how to coach. So much the coaching world and philosophy is 1st level. It's where I see young coaches putting all of their energy and effort. You are on to something very forward thinking.
