I really enjoyed the grounding and reinforcing component parts of this class. The student/athlete always needs to be placed at the center of what we do and this course provide a lot of great thoughts and ideas to add to my toolbox but also many things that reinforce and remind me of things I have used in the past and got me refocused on what I can do better.

I really enjoyed the course. The various topics on ways to connect with students were unexpected, yet so beneficial. For example, I was not expecting to talk about grit, grief, and writing projects all in the same course, yet I found that I was learning about ways to connect with students in a different way through each lesson. The course was definitely worthwhile. Nicole S., NE
