testimonials

From participant evaluations:

  • “Hearing [the CD] for a few minutes, my 17-year-old commented that he was hearing good information. He is right.”
  • “I thought that videotaping and critiquing was critical. The visual evidence is priceless—it makes the feedback more meaningful. Instructor was great. Coaching was on-the-spot and supportive, rather than critical.”
