Thank you for this educational opportunity to grow and further develop my personal approach towards teaching character through sports. – Arizona
ATH 905 was one of the best university classes I have ever taken. Coaching for character…wow! As I proceeded through the course, I realized my PE/health teaching career was in need of a large and substantial tweak! I had forgotten one of the most important parts of life: developing character!

Best of all, my students are loving it and being daily challenged and transformed from the inside out. Doesn’t get much better than that! Thank you! – California
