Reviews

“The Course was above my expectations. Dan has been a huge influence in my coaching career and this course helped me further understand some critical “why’s” of his training design. I appreciated the reference list/additional reading at the end of each module. The athlete perspectives were also extremely helpful and unique to this type of offering. Thank you.” John Hunter | Assistant Coach – Sprints, Hurdles, Horizontal Jumps, Multis
