I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I was able to validate some of my coaching strategies by this course but I was also challenged in making changes to other aspects of my coaching style.

It is an informative course. It helps understand today's athletes and how we need to develop an atmosphere that others want to join and grow. It is not easy working with everyone involved that makes the "Whole Team". This helps with a way to balance and ideas how to change the old thought process into something that is winning.

Course is very informative and helps me to learn a little bit about coaching in that there is more to the job than just teaching your sport. Its about building a relationship with your athletes in order to further them as people and instill values of hard work and grit.

As a first-time high school teacher and varsity soccer coach, I have learned that I must adopt a three-dimensional approach based on each player's skill level. Additionally, I recognize the importance of making internal changes within myself-what I call "coaching of the heart"—to foster good sportsmanship, character, identity, and self-worth in my players. Before the soccer season begins, it's essential for me to have a well-defined plan of action, with safety being my top priority
