3D Coaching Certification Reviews – All 3D Reviews

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
