Sports: 3D Coaching Course for Certification

This course has brought tears to my eyes several times and it just brings out the best in you. Just the overall way it was explained and detailed was awesome.

     Randy Sneed
     Coach

I think the most valuable piece of this course was my self reflection on the impact I want to make for my student athletes. I would definitely recommend this course to other coaches because I think it is a valuable tool to making you a better person and educator.

     Blake Seifert
     Coach

This course allowed me to reflect on my own coaching strategies, to coach outside of the 1st dimension. It will make me a better coach, and in turn help my athletes be more successful. I would recommend it to other coaches because it gives great strategies to help coach the present day athlete.

     Kurt Altig
     Coach

This course really shows the more importance of why you coach instead of how. The ways on how to build the relationships with the kids to bring a better commitment & enthusiasm into my programs. were the most valuable part.

     Harley Mohlman
     Coach

I felt that this course offered a deeper level of compassion that some of our coaches and coaching programs are missing. I would recommend this course to other coaches because it provides a purpose that we should all strive to complete as a coach.

     Amy Taylor
     Coach

This course affirmed my coaching philosophy and mission statement. I would recommend this course other coaches. All coaches can get something out of the course. Many good ideas and concepts.

     Ron Gray
     Coach

The lessons on the 2nd Dimension of coaching were very valuable. I would recommend this course because there are plenty of coaches who need to move their coaching to the next level.

     Larry McDonald
     District Athletic Director

This course is a tool we can use to resuscitate and reignite the very essence of coaching. It reminds us of the importance of coaching the Heart for transformation purposes, as opposed to the worldwide norm of transactional coaching.

     Elemon Junior Sakala
     Coach

I recommend this course because you will learn the different levels of coaching. It was valuable to learn how to capture the hearts of our players.

     Teresa Swan
     Coach

I recommend this course for coaches. Every coach can be better. Plain and simple. I feel I do a really good job, but this showed me ways to be better.

     Mark Royer
     Coach

I learned a lot about myself and about how I want my programs to look. I feel that this course is just going to make my program better and stronger.

     Mike Schweitzer
     Coach

The most valuable thing I got out of taking this course was taking the time and reflecting on my own coaching, and what I will change as a result of this reflection. I feel if more coaches coached in the 2nd and 3rd dimensions we would see greater participation in sports at the high school level.

     Luke Coufal
     Coach

I started to use the tools in this course as soon as I learned them and they have help my team already. Learning how to talk to my wrestlers about more than just the mat and school was the most valuable part of taking this course.

     Jamie Crossno
     Coach

I am definitely going to recommend it to my assistant coaches because I think it does a great job of emphasizing what the true purpose of sport should be. Too often we as coaches get caught up in the idea that it is all about wins and losses and we forget that it's all about kids.

     Mike Garner
     Coach

I recommend this course to other coaches. It is eye opening to the other aspects of coaching that are rarely discussed in typical coaching education. Learning about coaching more than the fundamentals and physical side of the sport was very valuable. Reaching athletes on higher levels to help them reach their potential.

     Adam Simons
     Coach

This course gave me hope that there is a better way to coach and there are strategies in place that can be utilized for coaches to pursue excellence through goodness. I would absolutely recommend this course. I am an Athletic Director - I heard Dr. Duke speak at the National AD's Conference in Florida - I now have a vision to move forward with a comprehensive professional development for all my coaches.

     Mark Faust
     Athletic Director

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this course! I think a lot of my methods, tactics, and reasons for coaching were validated. It is nice. This course digs considerably deeper in ways to reach our kids and somewhat forces the coach to get an idea of how, what, why, etc. we should be coaching 3-dimensionally. I was intrigued, and subsequently, am a better coach already, having seen a fraction of 3D Coaching over the Summer at Silver College for USA Wrestling at University of Wisconsin. Incidentally, I was exposed to intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation. I have competed nearly my entire life and never really 'got' how my own sons were never overly excited to wander around in their medals after a long tourney. Looking at the whole picture, I see that they are wrestling...for intrinsic purposes. They enjoy the competition, trying their takedowns, 'the sport,' and the 'game.' Knowing the difference, I am able to motivate much better, but, again, am validated in my own, already built, system for wrestling: (1.)FOUNDATION: We will build a foundation, fundamentally-strong, that will easily translate to any program, (2.) SUCCESS: We will help define success based on our athletes' unique skills/needs and, then, help them find it. (3.) FUN: perhaps, most-important, we will teach, learn, and compete in a way that is fun for all involved.

     Clint Smith
     Coach

This course helped me to see that most coaches stay in level 1 and we need to work on reaching all 3 levels of our athletes. I would like to have all my coaches take the course.

     Carl Nini
     Athletic Director

This course helped me to not be narrow minded within my teachings. I would recommend it to other coaches. It helps reduce the goal and success orientation of parents nowadays.

     James Wenzel
     Coach

I would recommend this course to other coaches because it was and can be a good reminder as to why we are coaching. It served as a valuable reminder that coaching is more than just about winning and losing.

     Rex Janssen
     Coach

The overall concept of 3D coaching plus strategies to help us was very valuable. This course was very beneficial and I love the overall concept.

     Tom Smith
     Coach

The information and tools provided by this course are very important if you as a coach want to help develop your players into well rounded people and have the most long term impact. The required reading of Inside Out Coaching was really eye opening and very informative. Joe's writing style and storytelling was very interesting and motivating.

     Seth Kinkaid
     Media Relations

I was able to come up with a concrete plan of action to present to my coaching staff through the organization of this course. I would recommend this course. It challenges you to go deeper with your coach-athlete relationships.

     Mike McKee
     Athletic Director

The combination of the insight coincided with the videos. Very powerful! It is a great tool for coaching at all levels!

     Brian Dolph
     Coach

This course just gives you a better way to coach. Moving forward I believe I can become a better person and coach.
