The videos, discussion groups, the book - all gave valuable insights and aided my reflection at how I have been a horrible coach up to this point!!!! Aggh! I'm ready to change! I would recommend this course other coaches. It is very needed.
This is the way I have always felt athletes should be coached but I don't think some coaches know 'how' to coach this way. This program helps coaches understand the importance of coaching the whole person and gives great, practical ways to do that with their own team. The concrete strategies for implementing 3D coaching methods into my own team were so valuable.
I would absolutely recommend this course! I learned a lot of incredibly useful information. If you are going to coach, and you're doing it for the right reasons, this is the place to have that strengthened and honed. The most valuable things I got were the strategies. I knew a lot of the concepts of 3D Coaching. It was nice to have a lot of that reaffirmed. Where I have always struggled is the how-to and the information I got here was invaluable.
What was most valuable? 1. The courageous conversations forged with my colleagues who have also taken the course or whose coaching approach aligns with other great organizations like the Positive Coaching Alliance. 2. Validation the path I have worked toward creating in my 23 year coaching career is closer to that of which is described in the course as well as my own vision of who I want to be for the kids.I would absolutely recommend this course! Absolutely! Reflective practice is key to building meaningful relationships within our academic classrooms and athletic areas. I enjoyed the entire process the course offered. However, while drafting my transformational purpose statement I pulled books by teachers/coaches (mostly basketball) whom I've read and studied in the past. I read snippets from John Wooden, Dick DeVenzio, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Bob Knight, Pete Carril, Phil Jackson, Pat Summit, Pete Newell, Bo Ryan, Mark Few, Tony Dungy, Bill Walsh, and Robert Maurer, PhD. It was enlightening to reacquaint myself with their value driven tips and connect it with the what the course was offering me to consider at this stage of my career. I also appreciated the a semi-secular/semi-spiritual approach considering my belief system isn't centered around organized religion.
The practical application of how to become a transformational coach made this course very valuable. I believe it should be required for all new coaches.
I loved the positive approach to building relationships with students. I would recommend this course to other coaches. It is worth the time and it is easy to take this course along with a busy schedule.
The most valuable part of this course was that it gave me an opportunity to reflect on my purpose for coaching and to align my actions with that purpose. I believe many coaches can benefit from looking within their programs and selves to define what they can do to truly make a difference in the lives of their athletes. The more coaches with this common vision will allow for all of us to be more successful.
I really appreciated the videos in the first three sections. I've taken notes and added them to my coaching philosophy. I'm aware and more intentional in the actions I take and the words I use. I absolutely recommend this course to other coaches.
Yes! I recommend this course to other coaches! I give this course a 10/10. I really enjoyed the videos on dimension 2 & 3.
I honestly can't think of one thing that was THE most valuable part of this course. I enjoyed every aspect of the 2nd and 3rd dimensional aspects of the curriculum. I would recommend this course to other coaches without a doubt! One of the most applicable and useful classes and curriculum that I've been associated with. Every coach who aspires to grow and make a difference in the lives of their players need to take this class. This class is a GAME CHANGER. I did a lot of soul searching with regard to every aspect of my program and how I coach our players. I've grown tremendously through this journey of 3D coaching.
This course was spot on with what I needed to hear, I would recommend it to other coaches. It taught me to trust my instincts and never stop learning from other great coaches.
What was most valuable about this course? First of all awareness - We get so wrapped up in the coaching process, that we sometimes don't see the forest through the trees. Secondly, the development of my transformational coaching purpose statement. Thirdly - strategies for implementation. I would absolutely recommend this to other coaches! I have seen this course change the lives of so many coaches, both young and veteran.
I had to introspect and understand my own story in regards to athletics and why I do some of the things I've done. Eye opening for sure! I would recommend to all coaches. If all coaches could move even a little closer to transformational vs. transactional our sports culture would be better off.
I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches. The most valuable parts were the self reflection, content and the process strategies.
I would recommend this course to other coaches because it widened my knowledge and gave me more ideas on how to be an effective coach.
This course was validation that what I was already doing as a coach was right, but it also gave me more ideas of things I can implement into my program to make it better. I would recommend this course for every coach. It's a great tool to help coaches remember the right reasons of why they coach.
It was valuable seeing better ways to approach situations I am in every day. It opens the mind of the coach and allows them to think in a different way. I would recommend this course for sure.
This course opened my eyes to how much impact a coach can truly have. The ideas and strategies to get coach each player to the best of their ability on and off the field was very valuable. The format was very user friendly. The instructors were knowledgeable and interesting... I learned a lot!!.
This course forced me to re-evaluate the way I coach and gave me good strategies to improve. I would recommend this course to other coaches. It's a great way to learn ways to connect with athletes.
This course helped me learn the greater purpose in coaching. It is a great tool and resource.
