Enjoyed the course. It was a bit intense at times, but I think the instructor did that on purpose, practising their own teaching methods by not making the course too easy thereby arresting boredom and avoiding a high dropout rate, similar to what we learned in the modules. The intensity was the challenge, to keep the student engaged and thinking. It seems to have been successful for the course. Thank you for the opportunity to learn remotely and freely. The sacrifices these instructors make to present this information is appreciated. Thank you, God bless, and stay safe.

Great insight in what is important when planning trainings for kids. The course shows how critical it is to take into account every individual situation and plan on the long term in order to achieve sustained results without putting in jeopardy the health of the young athlete and the development of the young athlete as a person and adult. I enjoyed evey minute of it.

Great course for coaches which feel a little lost with young athletes. Topics about what affects young athletes bodies and life in general are introduced. The laungauge is quite because of the use technical terms. If you're well-known with growth, maturation, puberty, muscular terms etc then there'll not be a lot of new stuff learned for you.

Highly informative. Goes deep into the exercise physiology and kinesiology. I only wish there were a more examples on about HOW to train and examples of what training sessions look like with athletes in their specific sports.

Interesting course, however, it is an introduction and therefore very simple in its tasks and insights given. I enjoyed it though. It gives a coach a new perspective in some parts and can be the first step to many more courses.

Muy bien explicado, conceptos claros para el el entrenamiento con jóvenes.Quizás tiene mucha parte de fisiología general, que debería darse por conocida por aquellos que hacen el curso.

One of the best courses I attended, which helped me to gain new scientific information on coaching young athletes. Regards to the instructor and her guests.

This was a very interesting, informative class. I learned a lot about how to coach and train young athletes from an early age through puberty.

Great information provided in this course around training youth. It left me wanting some coaching strategies to implement with my athletes.

Well structured and presented course. The quizzes, discussions and assignments help consolidate the learning material.

It was a great course, i gained many information that should help me with my job. Moreover, it boosted my own career

Very well done course.. a must do for all the serious coaches

Very detailed. I leaned a lote. A BIG Thank you.

Great course for all coaches of youth sports

Good foundational course to get started.

It is really improving my knowledge..

Very well constructed and explained.

Good course, well presented.

In Depth

The course addresses quite precisely and pragmatically every aspect regarding young athletes anatomical and physiological development. All the information provided in the lectures is research-based and Dr. Brooks states clearly when she is providing information which needs further investigation or clarification. The lenght of the lectures is short and these are very well organized by modules, facilitating the learning process. The information is almost always related to its application to young populations. While the topics covered by the course represent a fair amount of the information a coach should have, psychologycal and social aspects, which are quite important for training young athletes, are not convered in depth. The assessments lack effective feed-back to support the learning process, given that after taking the quizzes you will only know if your answer was right or wrong, missing any instruction about the course content itself, and the only peer-assessed piece misses a feed-back section which may help to improve future writing.

The course was very informative and also it has in depth resources for our understanding. The discussion forum is also splendid but the only problem is too get your homeworks reviewed by your peers. Sometimes you need to wait months to get it reviewed. Apart from that this course is actually superb!!!!!!

with open enrollment and no set number of students in a class peer review simply just dosn't work. I have been waiting months for my peer reviews to be graded still no end in sight. Ultimately the class now is a waste of money and time, don't sign up unless you have multiple months to wait for a certifcate. I was also going to take the 2nd class but will not now. Scam waste of money.

i finished the course but i haven't recieved confirmation that ive completed the course. What seems to be the problem ?
