Hello-- I am glad this course is available; it helps newcomers understand just how important coaching is for the community and for our youth. It also shows how many caring and professional people are working to ensure a healthy athletics program for our state. It also shows that sports is not just about athletics but is a way of connecting with others in a positive way.

I though this course was well structured, compelling and easy to consume. It definitely encouraged me to self reflect upon what elements of the 3-D coaching method I already incorporate into my coaching methods, and what could use improvement.
