3D Coaching for Sport: Certification

?Central High School held a 3D Coaching professional development workshop this spring for all of our coaches. The information, purpose and direction acquired in the seminar has inspired our coaches to implement daily character building opportunities for our student/athletes to go beyond the fundamental stage of sports. Our coaches have a better understanding of the significance in developing values within the players that motivates them to maximize their individual potential and to reach team goals. 3D Coaching has refined our perspective on coaching.?

The most valuable part of this course was the idea that we need to have a purpose that is larger than our goals. True success is measured off of our purpose not our goals. I would recommend this course to other coaches. I already have talked to a number of coaches about doing it.

The new perspective on coaching and the realization of the role that I play in athlete's lives was very valuable. I love this approach to coaching and can see how beneficial it is.

I would absolutely recommend this course to every coach. The reason for this is because I believe we all have a plan to coach in the 3rd dimension, but we get side tracked and forget what it is really all about. This is a great reminder to put some things in stone that we want to implement as coaches. I gained more strategies to continue to do what I feel as if I have already been doing in my short coaching career. It's reassuring knowing that others think the way I think.

This course reinforced my understanding that the primary role of a coach is to produce good human beings. It gets to the heart of what it means to be a coach.

Setting up a 3Dimensional Coaching Transformational Purpose was the most valuable thing I got out of taking this course. I would recommend this course to other coaches. The new ideas, concepts, and understanding in coaching is always helpful to help student athlete growth & success.

I feel this program is the foundation for success to helping students succeed. Learning about the different methods of building relationships with students, the journals, spotlight, and modeling to build students relationship was very valuable.

Learning that there is more to coaching than just being great at the first dimension was very valuable. This course provided a great way for coaches to listen and reflect on this material and younger coaches to gain this knowledge now.

This course will help coaches understand the difference between being a good and a great coach. This is the essence of connecting with your athletes at a level that is going to last a lifetime.

The reinforcement of the core values need to be a successful coach was very valuable. Also being an elder in our church and mentoring kids everyday, using the 2nd and 3rd dimension and not even realizing it. It opened my eyes to a lot of thing and reinforced others as well.

This course was valuable because it provided me with validation of establishing relationships with others to promote effective results.

I truly have been praying for something like this in my own life, and would recommend to others. The most valuable thing I got out of this class was the fact that I believed that I was coaching in the other dimensions, but rather just used verbiage from the 2nd and 3rd dimension but never taught it.

I loved the list of strategies at the end. This course is full of inspirational content and puts a phenomenal perspective on what we should be doing as coaches.

I would recommend this course because it brings the necessity of player development as people to the forefront. It was valuable because it reminds me that coaching is not completely about winning.

The very clear and thorough explanations and examples of the 3 dimensions and thinking about the purpose that motivates me was very valuable. I would definitely recommend this course to other coaches because it covers a range of important topics that are very relevant to coaching sports in our current cultural context and gives great strategies for focusing on and creating success on and off the field.

I would recommend this course to other coaches. There are a lot of things in this course that you touch base with that you may forget about in the whirlwind of the season. I got some helpful tips and exercises to use with my team.

I would recommend this course to other coaches because it is a different way of looking at coaching, not just through the first dimension. The ideas on building relationships with players and parents were very valuable.

I feel that understanding how to motivate in the second level will help me the most. It makes so much sense to use 'play' instead of the term 'outwork'. Today's athletes live in a very different world than it was even ten years ago. This course provides ideas to teach/coach the entire student athlete.

I will be recommending this course to every coach I know. Along with Joe's (Ehrmann) book, this course has had the single most positive impact on my coaching career. I was at a crossroads and came across this course at the exact right time. It has renewed my passion for working with young people by giving me concrete strategies I can put into practice immediately.

This course will only help you to become a better coach and allow you to better meet the needs of your players.
