		"The 3D Coaching Course was transformational. It completely shifted our focus from just physical skills to mental and character development.
The training provides clear tools for handling athletes psychologically and effectively building a well-adjusted, sound personal identity in players. This course is essential for any coach who wants to move from being transactional to being truly transformational."

		I have no complaints. I personally appreciated the way this course was set up. It was direct, to the point, and easy to navigate. It provided me the tools and understanding to better meet my athletes where they are at so that they can hopefully develop to become even better and athletes and even better humans!
The only downside, which isn’t even in relation to the course but rather the website, is that it has not worked on my desktop for some time now therefore I have had to use my mobile device to complete the remaining 25% of this course. It’s no problem though, just a minor inconvenience.

		I think this course is super informational and will make me into a great future coach and leader. I took this course for a class and thought it would be a typical online class. Though, I was completely wrong this course grabbed my attention and the videos made me think of times I have been coached or even coached youth leagues. I can't wait to try and incorporate some of these things I have learned to try to help myself and others into 3 Dimensional coaches.
