WHAT COACHES HAVE SAID


"As coaches, we need to make things as simple as possible for our players and this course certainly does this- a no brainer for any coach."

MARK CARR, OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S HEAD COACH


“The course provides a framework and action plans to work from. It has helped me design sessions that are much more organized and specific. It's one of those courses you will keep going back to over time to refresh and re-energize what you do.”

TIFFANY WEIMER, DUKTIG FOUNDER and YALE WOMEN’S ASSISTANT COACH


"The course truly focuses on the coach and how he/she can be better for the protagonist, the player! Well done David!"

MARC CASTILLO, ASPIRE FOOTBALL CLUB DIRECTOR OF COACHING


"The IJAS steps chucking tool and Dynamic Spaces improved my ability to observe the match and focus on specific game interactions. A very valuable course to help coaches empower players to think for themselves and learn to solve problems on the field!"

CASEY SCHAFER


If you are a new coach - this course is a must have. If you are a seasoned veteran - it provides reminders and continues learning on how to better manage trainings and teams.
