INCREDIBLE FEEDBACK We have already received some positive messages from some of the attending coaches including: "I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and learned some things that I will incorporate into my training sessions at Saint Louis University. Every coach on any level can benefit greatly by attending the WORLD CLASS COACHING Seminar. I encourage all coaches to take advantage of the opportunity to come next year." - Dan Donigan, St. Louis University "This is my third year and I will be back next year. The organization and facility are great. The clinicians are world-class and the sessions are full of new ideas that I can use with my teams." - John Sheridan, Iowa |
