I loved this 3DI course. It directly confronts our modern, results-based and winning-focused culture (especially as it relates to sport) with a framework and strategies that are meant to point us back to the joy of play and sport without ignoring or diminishing the hardships and adversity that will be encountered in sport and life. I really appreciate the focus on process and strategy, not only for the physical dimension of sport, but also the psychological and heart-level dimensions. The illustration of the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset also feel quite impactful to me, and I am excited to think more and strategize about how I can promote a growth mindset with my team, myself, and my own children.

The course was very informational and challenging in the sense that it made me take a look at "me" and what direction am I moving the program beyond the first tier. I can certainly improve by purposely activating and implementing the 2nd and 3rd tier qualities within me. It certainly will benefit the athletes, the school and the community. Very good course.
