3D Coaching Certification v3 Reviews

This course puts it into perspective what our role as coaches/teachers really is. It was valuable to look at real life instances of this 3D model at work. I would recommend this course because it questions what you are doing as the correct way and whether it is best for kids.

Kiel Giese
Coach

One should not just coach the athlete to the sport, but coach the athlete in life. This course will help others reach their potential as a coach, a coach of life. I recommend it.

Zachary Ison
Coach

This course explains why we all get into coaching but not what usually happens. It helps that you are given different ways of trying to instill life lessons in a practice. Learning the ways to coach the 2nd and 3rd dimensions (spotlight drill, put ups, letters home etc.) was very valuable.

Leslie Mix
Coach

The content in this course is very good. I would absolutely recommend it to other coaches. From experience and observation, most coaches function only in the 1st dimension. I'm passionate about the missed opportunities in the second and third dimensions.

Rafael Castillo
Coach

I definitely would recommend this course to other coaches. It is a long course, and i would suggest cutting it into chunks of viewing and not cramming or binge watching. It gave great insight into being a better coach through being a better person. It also gave multiple ways and steps to take to help transform lives of men, not just athletes

Chris O'Day
Coach

This course gave very detailed content on 2nd and 3rd dimension. Not only told you what you needed to do but gave suggestions on how. I've already recommended this to other coaches.

Thomas McDonald
Coach

Breaking down the 2nd and 3rd Dimensions to coaching and the realistic ways to connect with athletes was the most valuable part of this course. This is great material and very needed in our broken culture.

Jim Lloyd
Coach

Developing my transformational purpose statement and beginning to outline my strategy to achieve that purpose was the most valuable part of this course. I'd recommend it to coaches because it lays out the basis for true coaching and gives some handles to get on that journey.

George McGovern
Coach

To gain a full understanding the 3 dimensions of coaching and how to implement a plan for the second and third dimensions was extremely valuable. I would absolutely recommend this course. Reaching the heart of an athlete and presenting that individual with skills that will be of value in life is critical. Furthermore, this type of coaching helps the individual reach his full potential as a person.

Jerry Palmieri
Coach

The affirmation of my approach to coaching. The Athletic Experience is not about winning, it is about the journey and the relationships you make on that journey. YES, I would recommend this to other coaches. Coaches spend time and money learning the 1st dimension of their sport, the Xs and Os. This course takes a coach beyond their sport and encourages them to coach the value of sport.

Christian DeVries
Coach

It was valuable to learn how important it is to go beyond winning games and more to character and leadership development which lasts a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend this course! It takes coaching to a whole another level.

Juan Garcia
Coach

The most valuable thing to me was understanding the relationship between Great to Good and how coaches play such a crucial role in directing the byproduct, so as not to become jealous, selfish, greedy or revengeful. I would absolutely recommend this course because statistically most coaches are only coaching in the first dimension and I have personally been negatively affected by this kind of coaching.

Neal McNutt
Coach

I gained a full-picture appreciation for all that 3D Coaching can be, and where it can lead. I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches and will hopefully have a chance to make offerings more regular/accessible..

Drew van Esselstyn
Coach

This course gives perspective to Coaching, meaning beyond a winning record by mastering Level 1, but the broader, long-term impact of 2 and 3, which does not in any way take away from Level 1. As statistics point out, most are good at Level 1, likely now aware of the paradigms defined by Level 2 and 3.

Neil Della Torre
Coach

I give this course a 10/10. The strategies and philosophy were the most valuable takeaway and I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches.

Kevin Gillen
Coach

The importance of coaching in the 2nd and 3rd dimension and the lasting impact it will have on our coaches, athletes and families was very valuable to think about. I definitely would recommend this course to other coaches because of it's ability to have a transformational impact on their programs.

Jason Harewood
Coach

The most valuable thing i got out of taking this course is that I can and will become a three dimensional coach in all areas of my life. I would recommend this course to other coaches as it challenges and stretches you in every area of your coaching at the same time empowering you and filling you with hope, joy and courage to continue to make an impact in the lives of those around you on and off the playing field.

Manny Maldonado
Coach

The most valuable takeaway for me is the validation of my thinking that the focus on competition and number of games for our youth athletes has become too great and that a renewed focus on molding individuals will lead to better men and women in the future and better on-field performance from those we coach. I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches as I believe it serves as either a reminder of why we coach - to impact our players for now and for their future in a positive way. The best way to do so is indeed from the inside out.

Chris Thompson
Coach

The self reflection it required me to do as a coach and as a person was the most valuable thing I got out of taking this course. I believe every coach young and experienced should take this course to challenge themselves to grow as a coach and as a person.

Kevin Armstrong
Athletic Director

The 3D Coaching content gave my coaches the opportunity to come together as a small group and learn about the importance of the three different dimensions of coaching. The information was presented in a manner that my coaches could relate to. The philosophy and curriculum of this program is both top notch & research based, but more importantly it is what is best for our kids.

Leisa Blair
Principal

One of the best things is to discover that I have been coaching in the 2nd and 3rd dimensions without really knowing. This helps me to be confident to push myself to do more of it and has given me some specific strategies to use.

Scott Gelwicks
Coach

This course changed my coaching outlook and helped me redefine my purpose. I would recommend it to other coaches.

Doug Meyer
Coach

We feel so strongly about this course, we have made it a professional development piece for all of our coaches to complete!

Tom Harmon
Athletic Director

This course reaffirms what I believe to be true. Relationships are more important than the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Loved the whole program. Definitely would recommend to all coaches because it identifies what many student athletes are yearning for.......a coach that cares about them as a person first!

Dan Strutzenberg
Coach

Learning the particular strategies in both the 2nd and 3rd dimensions was the most valuable part of this course. I know without hesitation that I will make every effort to get the information on this course to every coach that I am able to be in front of.

Dirk Campbell
Coach

I found it truly gave value to 'how' I already feel a coach should coach. I would recommend this course for a requirement course for all new coaches. This course provides the understanding that coaching is more than 'wins'.

Ron Peterson
Coach

I found out that I was a 2nd Dimension coach....and got strategies to move to the 3rd. I think young coaches need things like this to help them find their purpose and experienced coaches to adjust their compass. I recommend it.

Jean-Antoine Ramirez
Coach

I think to many coaches put much emphasis on the wrong things. I know this course changed my views on things! I would recommend it to other coaches. I have already started implementing the put ups and spotlight drills in my summer workouts! I can't wait to implement more of the skills throughout the year!

Joshua Porter
Coach

I would definitely recommend this course, especially to experienced coaches who have their minds set on doing it the same way they always have. Coaching from the heart is more important than wins and losses.

Heather Wilson
Coach

This course is a sound guideline for coaches to follow if they want to have an impact on their players beyond wins & losses. It reinforced my methods of coaching and provided me with new ideas to try.

Daniel Bauer
Coach

This is not just for coaching, but for parenting, teaching, leadership, etc...the principles of this course transfer to every area of my life. This course will transform every program that has a coach that will allow themselves to lead from the 2nd and 3rd Dimension.

Scott Bloomquist
Coach

I would definitely recommend this to other coaches. The values taught here are applicable for players and are reminders to coaches about their own approach to life. The reinforcement for the philosophy of coaching for skills AND character and heart, and techniques for accomplishing this was the most valuable part.

Arline Fonda
Coach

I recommend this course to other coaches, it's great stuff.

Josh Lashley
Coach

I think the most valuable part of this course are the lessons on how to build better relationships with student/athletes and their parents! Getting past just teaching the fundamentals and physical skills of a sport is the start of the coach/athlete relationship and will assist any coach in develop their entire program. I would recommend this course because I feel that it is important for coaches to remember why students get involved in sports to begin with and it is also important for coaches to be more conscientious about building relationships with their athletes and their families to build a cohesion among all the parties involved in their program.

Michael Starner
Coach

I absolutely recommend this course. It makes you take a step back and evaluate yourself as a coach and how you go about your daily interactions with the student-athletes you coach.

Nate Thomas
Coach

I would absolutely recommend this course and I already have. I have read the book twice, taken part in a coaches book study, watched all of the videos twice and used a lot of these strategies in my coaching. I have seen and felt a difference in my coaching but more importantly, others have noticed that I have went from a transactional coach to a transformational coach.

Joe Bair
Coach

This course helped confirmed God's will for my life to be a 3D Coach for Christ. I recommend this course to other coaches.

Dave Cooke
Coach

The practical ideas for 2nd and 3rd dimension implementation were very valuable I would recommend this course because every coach needs training to be a 3D coach.

Bryan McKenzie
Coach

I know many coaches that would greatly benefit from this course. They could use the strategies to better connect with parents and athletes and realize that there is much more to coaching than teaching 'skills.' We have a much greater impact than we think. Learning specific strategies and ways to take my coaching to the 3rd dimension was the most valuable part of this course.

Melanie Herring
Coach

The entire course was great! The sections 201 & 301 were incredibly helpful in packaging thoughts, ideas & practices that I have been doing and assigning & aligning them with our purpose. As an AD I will be asking my coaches to take this course. It is impactful and transformative. Very clear and concise while being complex and groundbreaking.

Grey Powell
Athletic Director

The most valuable thing I got out of taking this course was understanding the purpose of why I coach and being able to explain it in words. I believe that this course demonstrates the true meaning of what it means to be a coach and I would recommend it to other coaches.

Rich Skillman
Coach

I would recommend this course because I believe it is important for us to remember the 'why' in what we do. I enjoyed the motivation section the most.

Christian Swain
Coach

Learning different ways to approach student athletes without just focusing on their skill level was the most valuable part of this course. I would recommend this course because unfortunately, our world is so skill based and win-oriented that we as coaches need to be more aware of other factors that have significant impact on our athletes.

Shelby Forman
Coach

I would recommend this course to other coaches because students need more than just level one coaches. There needs to be more level 3 coaches.

Scott Hereder
Coach

I would absolutely recommend this course to other coaches. Narrowing down my core values as a coach, and thinking more about what is really important to teach kids over the course of a season was the most valuable thing for me.

Kailey Bridges
Coach

This course really does get you thinking about how many ways there really are to get to an athlete in a deeper way to see them shine. The most valuable parts: Digging in deeper to the athletes, hearing more of they want out of you and themselves not just having goals set from day one working to accomplish those. Letting the kids decide what athletes they are going to be and trying to use all the tools available to develop them where they want to go.

Layne Louallen
Coach

It is a valuable tool that enables us to determine and achieve our intended goals as a coach, and gave ots of ideas and examples of how to be a 3D coach.

Jonathan McDonald
Coach

The video clips from the different movies because I could relate it to information that I have already seen. I would recommend this course because it gives a different outlook on ways to coach.

Josh Bullock
Coach

The one thing I have struggled with in coaching is working on motivation and mental toughness. This course affirmed some of the things I already do and gave me some additional strategies to use. I would recommend this course because coaches have a great impact on their athletes and we have a responsibility to make sure the impact is positive.

Diane Storey
Coach

This course gave me new ways to look at my athletes and help make them better people. I think the ideas are sound and will really work to create better coaches and athletes.

David Gray
Coach

This course gave me healthy reminders and refreshing motivation for the upcoming seasons. I would recommend this course to other coaches. For those with less experience it would be very informative and helpful for our area's demographic, and for experienced coaches it is a great reminder.

Makenna Durham
Coach

The Videos about the Girls Basketball and Boys Football Team trying season were very moving. It would be easy to coach a team that wins 100% of the time, but I think to test the well of us Coaches sometimes going through a season like that will show us who we really are. It's not always about X's and O's but about getting to know your players and what motivates them; who are they and what concerns and fears they have on and off the field. I feel if you know your player and what they are about will help you on the field as well.

Danny Lugo
Coach

I believe the losing to win module was a very heartfelt part of this course. If people can take this to help their athletes and students to perform their daily life, it will make this a better world. The 2nd and 3rd dimension is so much more valuable than the 1st dimension.

Martin Warren
Coach

The steps and procedures to develop the important 2nd and 3rd dimensions were the most valuable part for me. I'd recommend this course to other coaches. Great course, for any level.

Derek Yost
Coach

The fact that we can help our players with much more than just play a sport is so valuable to remember! I found this course inspiring and it has given me a new outlook on coaching!

Joel Howard
Coach

This course was very helpful on how to relate to athletes today.

Cheratin Hunter
Coach

I would recommend this course because it focuses on the relationships with athletes versus just teaching them skills. It will help build life-long memories and have a lasting effect. The most valuable thing was to learn different strategies to use throughout the year to model the 2nd and 3rd dimensions of coaching.

Rachel Baker
Coach

I think it is important for many coaches to ask the question on why they are coaching and if it is about the kids first or themselves. The strategies for connecting with kids were valuable. I am glad to see how positive coaching is making a push into athletes today.

Courtland Ingram
Coach

I would recommend this tool because it made real world connections. The strategies for the 3rd dimension were the most valuable part.

Devin Springer
Coach

It was nice to see that many of the strategies I already use as a coach are inline with the 3D coaching philosophy. It encourages me to continue in this way. I recommend this to other coaches, to new or young coaches especially.

David Baker
Coach

This course has given me the opportunity to take a deep look at myself. I have become more intentional about acting like the coach that I want to be. I think this course allows us to view ourselves in the shoes of an athlete. Before this course I was in denial about things happening in our program.

Robert Davenport
Coach

The strategies to implement immediately were the most valuable part of this course to me. I recommend it because it offers insight into an area of coaching that many coaches who grew up playing their sport during a different era probably didn't see modeled.

Zach Keith
Coach

Overall I really enjoyed the course. I really enjoyed the 2nd dimension talks. I think they provided structure to thoughts I already had. I also really enjoyed the strategies, while I do not believe I will use them all, they definitely widen my scope of thinking.

Josh Cook
Coach

I think every new coach needs to take this course to help them bond with their kids. It provides new ways to connect with our youth.

Curtis Harland
Coach

I recommend this course to other coaches. We use 'kids aren't the same today' too much. This gets to the heart of what we need to do to change with them. Writing the purpose statement was the most valuable part to me.

Matt Holt
Coach

I would recommend this course. It relates to the problems that coaches face on a daily basis, and gives the coach strategies to use to combat those problems. The different strategies to use to build the family concept of a team were very valuable.

Justin Jordan
Coach

Great course for coaches. This ought to be required of coaches everywhere. Let coaches in on the real success to coaching young men/women.

Charles (Andy) Fedoris
Coach

This course gave concrete methods coaches can use to increase the 2nd and 3rd dimension in their coaching skills. It motivated me to be a better coach and to evaluate the things I do well and the areas that need improvement.

Kristin Keller
Coach

I recommend it to other coaches because it causes you to reflect on what's truly important in life. The emphasis on the levels 2 and 3 were the most valuable part.

Kent Victor
Coach

I would definitely recommend this course. Good things to think about. The 3D Coaching strategies/ideas for activities were the most valuable part.

Jessica Gorham
Coach

I would recommend this tool because it really opens your eyes as to what you need to focus on as a coach.Learning tat you need to get to the heart of the athlete and care for them as an individual not as a tool to achieve your goals was the most valuable part for me.

Colter Shacher
Coach

This course give great insight on how to be a great coach, how to build relationships and different strategies to use.

Jennifer Aguirre
Coach

I would recommend this course because it breaks down the generational gap many coaches are likely experiencing with the social media generation. We have to reach these kids through another strategy than the past.

Jason Schonberg
Coach

I think this course opens the eyes of coaches and helps us to become a better coach. Learning that coaching is about more than just teaching wrestling was the most valuable part to me.

Bo Hampton
Coach

I would recommend this not only to coaches, but parents and any other professionals that work with kids. This is a much needed change in the mindset of what society believes about kids in athletics today.

Amy Becicka
Coach

This course offers a lot of valuable strategies that coaches can implement immediately. The combination of inspirational stories and practical strategies was the most valuable part.

Kyle Dalvit
Coach

This was by far one of the most reflective experiences I've ever had as a coach. The reflection on my purpose in coaching and how to make the greatest impact on my athletes' lives was the most valuable part. I definitely recommend it.

Kate Gordon
Coach

I see this is a very important way to keep youth involved in sports so they can get the positive messages and build those relationships.

Tony Moceri
Coach

This is something that all coaches can benefit from. The most frustrating thing a coach can deal with are heart issues. This program offers methods for attacking those issues. The 3rd dimension strategies and the 3D coaching certification worksheet were the most valuable part.

Keith Galloway
Coach

This course puts your coaching in perspective and makes you more aware of what you do as a coach. I would recommend it to other coaches.

Laura Torrero
Coach

I highly recommend this course for coaches. I definitely found the diamond among the roughs when it comes to coaching materials. Any coach can say, 'do this and that,' and you'll win guaranteed. However, this course teaches us that when you coach for developing the whole athlete (the spiritual, psychological, and physiological aspects), that's when you truly make a real difference in each of their lives. Learning about what it truly means to coach on the 2nd and 3rd dimension was the most valuable part. Skills that transcend coaching on the 1st dimension, which almost any coach can do. But coaching on the 2nd and 3rd dimension truly takes upstanding character, which we can cultivate and develop to produce other upstanding characters.

Zach Merrill
Coach

I feel validated in some of the things I have been doing for my programs over the years. I also learned their is more I could probably do, but I'm doing things the right way. I think this should be something every young/entry level position coaches should take.

Cole Dishman
Coach

The most valuable thing I got out of this lesson is how to be a better coach and impact their lives. I recommend this course because it has many valuable lessons and how to become an impactful coach.

Sadie Spanton
Coach

Team Cohesion is something that my team has been struggling with, and this helped me out a great deal with what to do for that. I would recommend this course to other coaches because it helps point out the other points of focus needed to be a successful coach.

Marcus Cobbs
Coach

This course helps guide you to becoming the coach we all want to be.

Erik Andersen
Coach

This course is very informative and can open new doors for all coaches in reaching athletes on a different level. It gave me an understanding and different approach to coaching and mentoring.

Damon Seiger
Coach

This course really made me focus on what matters and get me to think about what I'm doing. So much of this course was great, but I really needed that help to write the purpose statement and the step by step process to get there was very good.

Jennifer Meyer
Coach

The most valuable part was learning to recognize a kid struggling and being proactive at handling it. I recommend it to coaches because it gives you details in building morale.

Christopher Pitts
Coach

I have always felt that the most important aspects of coaching are the impact you can have on the lives of athletes. This reinforced that ideal and expanded my perspective tremendously. Additionally, this course gives tangible tools to implement the ideals. I'm excited to be on this journey. I'm going to recommend it to our club's director of coaching.

Ben MacKay
Coach

I would absolutely recommend this course! I don't feel that it is appropriate for an adult to coach a child unless the well-being of the child is their reason for being there. A coach who goes through this training would have to look at what they're doing, and ask themselves why they were there at all. A clearly delineated understanding of the various levels of coaching, as well as specific definitions that were backed up with research, were the most valuable thing to me. I loved that these weren't just 'common sense' approaches and that they had foundations in research.

Michael McMasters
Coach

This course is very enlightening and offers much value to coaches. Recognizing that we must evolve! We can not continue coaching in the first dimension alone.

Michael Duran
Coach

I would recommend this course for both new and old coaches that may be wondering how to reach their athletes and to reinforce some of the things they may already be doing. Thinking about funeral topics, and what really matters when it is all said and done and the impact that I could make after a career in teaching and coaching were the most valuable parts of this course.

Walter Alvarenga
Coach

I recommend this course because it makes you realize the impact you can have on a player's life in one season. It's not always about the wins, but building relationships with my players and making them better people.

Callie Beaver
Coach

I recommend this course because because I know a lot of folks that when they are coaching are only doing it in the 1st dimension, and not really taking anything else into consideration. Connecting with players and realizing they are people too, and not just a tool to win shouldn't have to be a spoken thing, but with how coaches and parents approach sports today...it needs to be said.

Joe Tabios
Coach

I would certainly recommend the course as the process truly transforms your future direction as a coach. Unlocking character and having (and understanding) the process through the exercise of forecasting my coaching legacy was the most valuable part.

Darryl Reina
Coach

It was valuable learning more about the 2nd and 3rd dimensions of coaching and helping me understand my purpose and the journey better. I would recommend this course to other coaches - much needed information for all coaches in today's teaching environment.

Jon Duplessis
Coach

As a coach of 30 years, 3D coaching has helped me to realize where I have failed in capturing the heart of my players and how I can fix it. I realized I have spent more time in the first and second levels and not nearly enough in the 3rd.

John Rodriguez
Coach

The most valuable thing i got out of taking the course was that coaching also happens off the field. I believe any coach or mentor would learn something new by taking this course.

Kim Dever
Coach

YES, I recommend this course to other coaches. I do believe most of us coaches get bogged down in the Xs and Os and we neglect the human aspect of our players.I really appreciated the Codes of Conduct and the different strategies such as Spot Light and Journaling that I can use to add cohesion to our team.

Miguel Palacios
Coach

The whole idea of teaching to the 3rd dimension was the most valuable part. We have always done this, but it gave me more ideas of what I can do to be even more successful.

Sandra Hermann
Coach
