This interactive course gives coaches the blueprint to better connect with today’s student-athletes while increasing accountability, minimizing complaints, and improving the quality of their experience.
This course helps improve the quality of your communication for two purposes; to increase the quality of the student-athlete experience, and to help generate greater success for yourself and your program. The buzzword most often associated with high-performing teams is chemistry. Chemistry is formed through connection, and at the heart of connection is communication. Improving communication benefits us in all areas of our lives and this course is designed to give you actionable tools you can start using today! As coaches we know that words are never just words…they’re tools. And since we can’t play for our athletes (though I know many of you would like to) the greatest control we have in a game is through our language.
Your blueprint to better connect with today’s student-athletes while increasing accountability, minimizing complaints, and improving the quality of their experience.
Language is the most powerful tool we possess and working to elevate the communication skills of your entire program gives you a unique competitive advantage in any arena. This is the program that provides the step-by-step roadmap to help you get there.

""Betsy shares some of the best tools out there to navigate the crucial conversations that so often arise when working in a high-performance environment. She gave us small shifts in our communication skills that we could put into practice immediately with big results. Without a doubt, we had great success as a team because of her." "
"I’m always looking for that 1% edge to get the best out of my team and we got that in working with Betsy. Her playing and coaching background facilitated an instant ease of connection with my players and staff. She’s the best listener I’ve encountered and was able to observe our practice and give real-time feedback without being a distraction. And by no means was this a one time workshop. She checks in throughout the season to see how I’m doing which shows the investment she’s made in myself and my program."
"Communication is one of the skills I truly value, and Betsy nailed how important this is to any relationship. Her tips were on point and she gave real-world examples we could relate to as coaches. I can’t wait to add some of her tools for connecting to our coaches’ and student-athletes’ toolbox!"
