I've been coaching for 29 years and this course was really good for me. I spent a lot of time self-reflecting on my purpose as a coach. I was affirmed, encouraged and challenged.

I enjoyed the time with our small group visiting with Aaron about topics. This felt very meaningful. The discussion will help me in the classroom as a teacher and a coach.

I'm a new coach that just knew I loved the sport as a player, and missed the camaraderie of a team. This program has taught me that coaching can be deeper and more rewarding than the superficial aspects that drew me to coaching.

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.
