3 Dimensional Coaching is the most beneficial professional development course I've taken in the 27 years that I have been coaching. Every coach should be required to take this course. Great stuff!!!

I really enjoyed the course. It forced me to reevaluate how I have coached and how I want my coaches to coach. I feel coaching to all three dimensions is the best way to reach young athletes.

The course design/set up was easy to use. The content of the course is very relevant for the youth of today. The customer service has been second to none (including responses to emails on a Sunday afternoon in June). I will certainly recommend this course to other coaches in my district and conference.

This course is really good and will help you develop a program that truly is fantastic. I believe all coaches and athletic directors should at least hear what he has to say.

I learned a lot from the video modules. The information was relevant to coaching, teaching, and parenting. It is so natural to be transactional that it really takes intentional planning to be transformational. This course is very helpful in creating intentional 3D coaches.

YES! I recommend this course! It gives you a chance to reflect, which is something that we do not always feel like we have enough time to do. It also gave me some validation for the things that I do and taught me some things that I should stop and think about more often. I really enjoyed the videos and reading the book. It was nice to listen to others that have some of the same issues and feelings as you do.

I recommend this course. I think that this is a refreshing way for coaches to reflect. I really enjoyed the videos. It was nice to watch and listen to others talk about similar situations that I have been through and to hear that I handled the situations very similar to others.

I absolutely recommend this course! It takes coaching to a whole other level. I was coaching on a 1st dimension and now I realize there is so much more to being successful. Successful coaching does not just focus on the physical ability of the player. It is important to use positive encouragement and get rid of 'joy robbers.' You have to be able to motivate kids. It's best to have them enjoy themselves and experience joy. I learned in this course how to become a 3D Coach and change up my coaching style and help my kids become better on and off the field. I think every coach should take this course.

If coaches and parents followed the guidelines of this course, schools, communities, and our country overall would see more transformation toward what's important in life - relationships and love. It helped strengthen the reason WHY I coach and provided useful strategies to implement 2nd and 3rd dimension coaching.

I would recommend this course because I think there are too many coaches out there that think it's acceptable to just coach in the first dimension. They don't know how to do anything different because that's the way they were taught. It made me reflect on my coaching and my teaching and realize that I could definitely improve in some areas. It also validated some things that I already do and made me feel proud and good about how/why I coach.

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this course to other coaches! I learned about how to become a better coach, and at the same time learned to reflect on my current life practices. The different philosophy to coaching, followed up with very descriptive strategies to implement them was very helpful.

Without a hesitation I would recommend it. Very powerful and impactful. The content was thought provoking. The way it was delivered with a combination of video clips, book study, introspection, and frequent assessments really appealed to me and was very conducive to my learning style. Once I started the journey, I couldn't get enough or slow down. Best and most relevant online course I've ever taken!

I would recommend this course. I think coaching needs to have a purpose and to many coaches just coach without one. Hashing out my distinct purpose statement and the outline provided to make it effective was the most valuable part for me.

This course provides ideas that could actually be implemented preseason, in-season, and post season. Really good useful information and the speakers were really good! I believe we are in a transitional of education, both in the classroom and in the athletic arenas. The 'my way or the highway' days are done. I feel that this class really syncs with my philosophy and the integration of many of the ideas in the course into my current team have been extremely well received and very successful.

The best thing I got out of this class was being able to see how I can impact an athlete's life in more ways than just sports. I like the idea of knowing that I have the opportunity to change an athlete's life around by the way I coach or be able to impact their future in such a positive way. I would recommend this course because it opens up your eyes to a new look at coaching. It shows that their are more important things to sports than winning and the competition. Their are a lot of things that we can teach our athletes besides the fun of winning or the pain of losing.

This course helped give me direction for my own coaching career and the framework to plan out my own strategy as I move forward. It helps coaches see outside of the X's and O's, in a world where leadership is needed for our youth and participation in sports is declining. It helps coaches to formulate their own purpose and direction for their program. I thought it was a good course and the content is solid.
