“This is a great course. Thank goodness we have some of these classes where you actually use the information in your classroom and on the athletic field. The information in this class isn’t a “fad,” it will be around forever because it is about real life. I like that you get to share with other teachers and coaches. The discussion time is super!!!”

“The material used in this class is so valuable that I can hardly wait to use it in my classroom. I especially like Hal Urban’s, Life’s Greatest Lessons, and plan to purchase it for myself. The videos were also very informative and practical. Discussions based on the videos and reading assignments were lively and energizing. This course is one that any teacher or any coach at any level can easily apply in their classroom or with their team.”
