The course impressively highlights each area of coaching and doesn't focus on the generic roles & responsibilities of being a team leader. I didn't anticipate being moved by a "mandatory training" but I was surprisingly inspired as I clicked through each video. All the reasons I wanted to be a coach were talked about in this course and solidified my decision even more to put myself in a position of leading youth athletes.

This course was very instrumental in helping me develop my coaching style and thinking about my "why." I am a first-time athletic coach for a VHSL sport and the information I received will help me support my student athletes.

This course gets the bigger picture of what sports should be and gives you the tools to resist what sports have become.
