3D Coaching Certification v3 Reviews

I would recommend this course to other coaches. There are a lot of things in this course that you touch base with that you may forget about in the whirlwind of the season. I got some helpful tips and exercises to use with my team.

Aaron Cooper
Coach

The very clear and thorough explanations and examples of the 3 dimensions and thinking about the purpose that motivates me was very valuable. I would definitely recommend this course to other coaches because it covers a range of important topics that are very relevant to coaching sports in our current cultural context and gives great strategies for focusing on and creating success on and off the field.

Valorie Stokes
Coach

I would recommend this course because it brings the necessity of player development as people to the forefront. It was valuable because it reminds me that coaching is not completely about winning.

Dakota Neisen
Coach

I loved the list of strategies at the end. This course is full of inspirational content and puts a phenomenal perspective on what we should be doing as coaches.

Rebecca Zylstra
Coach

I truly have been praying for something like this in my own life, and would recommend to others. The most valuable thing I got out of this class was the fact that I believed that I was coaching in the other dimensions, but rather just used verbiage from the 2nd and 3rd dimension but never taught it.

Chad Cook
Coach

This course was valuable because it provided me with validation of establishing relationships with others to promote effective results.

Tara Deckard
Coach

The reinforcement of the core values need to be a successful coach was very valuable. Also being an elder in our church and mentoring kids everyday, using the 2nd and 3rd dimension and not even realizing it. It opened my eyes to a lot of thing and reinforced others as well.

Shawn Noppert
Coach

This course will help coaches understand the difference between being a good and a great coach. This is the essence of connecting with your athletes at a level that is going to last a lifetime.

Andrew Cook
Coach

Learning that there is more to coaching than just being great at the first dimension was very valuable. This course provided a great way for coaches to listen and reflect on this material and younger coaches to gain this knowledge now.

Eric Mitchell
Coach

I feel this program is the foundation for success to helping students succeed. Learning about the different methods of building relationships with students, the journals, spotlight, and modeling to build students relationship was very valuable.

Dixie Wirsig
Counselor

Setting up a 3Dimensional Coaching Transformational Purpose was the most valuable thing I got out of taking this course. I would recommend this course to other coaches. The new ideas, concepts, and understanding in coaching is always helpful to help student athlete growth & success.

Anthony Barbrie
Coach

I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches. There are too many coaches and parents who are living through their children and expect them to compete in college athletics. This helps us get the big picture of why we need to prepare young student athletes for life, not sports. This course reminded me of why I coach and my need to try to keep play as number one aspect of competition.

Rod Elms
Coach

Learning strategies on how to impact lives was the most valuable thing I got out of taking this course.

Eddie Schaaf
Coach

It's a great course that helps you to understand how to approach coaching from all aspects. Learning some strategies on how to deal with athletes in the area of motivation was very valuable.

Riley Weems
Coach

This course reinforced my understanding that the primary role of a coach is to produce good human beings. It gets to the heart of what it means to be a coach.

Mark Pearson
Coach

I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches! The various techniques I can use with the athletes to help them become more positive with each other and be a unit of one was very valuable. Great information.

Tonya Young
Coach

I would absolutely recommend this course to every coach. The reason for this is because I believe we all have a plan to coach in the 3rd dimension, but we get side tracked and forget what it is really all about. This is a great reminder to put some things in stone that we want to implement as coaches. I gained more strategies to continue to do what I feel as if I have already been doing in my short coaching career. It's reassuring knowing that others think the way I think.

Andrew Nicola
Coach

The new perspective on coaching and the realization of the role that I play in athlete's lives was very valuable. I love this approach to coaching and can see how beneficial it is.

Megan Beck
Coach

The most valuable part of this course was the idea that we need to have a purpose that is larger than our goals. True success is measured off of our purpose not our goals. I would recommend this course to other coaches. I already have talked to a number of coaches about doing it.

Mark Lardy
Coach

The 3Dimensional Coaching curriculum is a natural fit for our district. Our core values include learning, character, leadership and collaboration which match the 3D values. This curriculum gave our coaches and administrators ideas and practical tools to infuse these values in our student athletes.

Larry Linthacum
Superintendent

?Central High School held a 3D Coaching professional development workshop this spring for all of our coaches. The information, purpose and direction acquired in the seminar has inspired our coaches to implement daily character building opportunities for our student/athletes to go beyond the fundamental stage of sports. Our coaches have a better understanding of the significance in developing values within the players that motivates them to maximize their individual potential and to reach team goals. 3D Coaching has refined our perspective on coaching.?

Neal Hook
Athletic Director

Being a beginner coach, this course set a clear path for the actions I should take and implement to have the most impact on my players and fellow coaches. I recommend this course to other coaches. I believe that every coach needs to understand or be reminded of the athlete as being a person with life problems and emotional stresses.

Blake Forkey
Coach

I would definitely recommend this course. This course has exactly how I would perceive our coaches developing the same relationships with their players as I have when I was a coach. As an athletic director, it will be a nice addition to our coaching staff as a requirement.

Donald Beazizo
Athletic Director

I enjoyed researching the different strategies to implement in the season and even off season that this course provides. This course is necessary because our athletes are changing, and this is helpful to decide how to approach that.

Samantha Jackson
Coach

The most valuable thing I got out of taking this course was just taking some time to think about the important things coaches need to be focused on instead of just the W's and L's. I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches. All coaches can benefit from the topics discussed.

Marlin Roach
Athletic Director

What I got most from this coarse was the knowledge of how a coach's interaction with his/her athletes can transcend their sport. I gained the realization that by moving to the next level of coaching I can transform athletes into adults. I believe this course should be a requirement to get a coaching endorsement. If a coach is only coaching Xs and Os, he/she is missing out on coaching the things that will matter when there athletes games are over.

Robert Holkesvik
Coach

I would recommend this course to other coaches because it is a great way to learn other ways to motivate/inspire people and learn about the importance of things outside of sport.

Aaron Fritz
Coach

This course helps coaches refocus on what is truly important. Our entire coaching staff will be going through the course.

Jeremy Stukenholtz
Athletic Director

I appreciate the reasoning and research presented behind these new concepts. I felt it would be good for every coach to hear these concepts and utilize them.

Leonard Grodoski
Coach

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

John Pearson
Coach

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

Brian Dolph
Coach

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 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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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 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

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 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.

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

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

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 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

Nickolas Saldivar III
Coach

Without 3D level coaching our young athletes are missing the opportunity for a life changing experience. I would recommend this course 100%! Not just for coaches of all levels, but also for parents.

David Lehman
Coach

I would recommend this course to other coaches simply to educate them about how important it is to be apart of your athletes lives on and off the field. Learning about the importance of using second and third dimension coaching was very valuable.

Greg Ford
Coach

I would recommend this course to other coaches, it is very comprehensive. It was valuable to learn how to identify and treat scenarios depending on which dimension the issue is surfacing in.

Michael Hoffman
Coach

The most valuable thing I got out of this course was how to build relationships with students. I would recommend this course because too often coaches are just worried about winning. Building a culture is more important.

Tolan Singer
Coach

The application of everything that was discussed was extremely useful. I think regardless of what level you are coaching there is something from this certification that you can apply to your program. Athletes are different today because they have been raised differently and this course gives a game plan to coach today's athletes. I am always looking to improve as a coach and I feel I have definitely added some tools to the tool box.

Leland Rodgers III
Coach

It was valuable learning how to think about things through the student-athlete's perspective. I would recommend this course. It gives an interesting perspective.

Christopher Cox
Coach

It was valuable to be reminded of how much coaches influence their student athlete's lives. I would recommend this course to other coaches. Many of my previous coaches had a mindset of only winning.

Blake Wittler
Coach

The amount and content of the information in this course was fantastic! The times have changed since my high school athlete days, and as a coach I have to change also.

Joe Malek

Jerry Gardner
Athletic Director

I would absolutely recommend this course! Most coaches want to make an impact beyond the field, court, track etc. but don't have the skills or knowledge to. This course clearly defines ways to implement systems that will impact the student/athlete of today. The strategies to educate parents and community were very valuable.

Quinn LeSage
Athletic Director

I would absolutely recommend this course to coaches. If we are to keep coaches progressing in the profession we need to have them engaged into coaching in all 3 dimensions.The 2nd & 3rd dimensional topics and the strategies were very useful.

Erik Titus
Athletic Director

I would recommend this course to coaches, and I would also recommend to teachers. I think in today's world we under-value the importance of developing the mind and heart of students/athletes that are under our care. Learning about the value of developing level 2 and level 3 on a team was very valuable. The mind and heart use to be developed by parents ... not the case anymore!

Steve Haag
Coach

The affirmation that 3D coaching approach enhances winning and is a strong way to coach rather than a weak way was very valuable. I would recommend this course to other coaches. It is very inspirational and motivating.

Coach

The teaching towards the 2nd and 3rd dimensions information was the most valuable. I already have recommended this course to my coaches and they are registering to take it now before our season begins. I want us to all be on the same page and for them to understand my philosophy on coaching the WHOLE athlete.

Amy Anderson
Coach

The most valuable thing I got out of this course was learning the impact I have as a coach, and the value of reflecting on the why of why I coach and how that can help me develop strategies in my daily coaching practices.
