Testimonials

“Excellent training for all aspects of coaching! I strongly feel that all coaches, facilitators, volunteers, and even parents would benefit from this. I enjoyed learning about the “growth mindset”, creating a positive and welcoming environment, the challenge zone, and of course being a complete caring role model and coach to give life-long sport education and fulfillment.”

“Loved the online format. I have a baby at home and was able to complete this during his naps, in person wouldn’t have been a reality for me. The links to resources and downloads were especially helpful also.”

“A very well put together and educating program. I learned a lot more about sports that will help me with coaching and my own performance! Very pleased with the program!”
