After 35 years coaching, attending the conference refreshes my mind. I realize it’s never too late and you are never too old to learn something new!

The NDCA conference is one of my favorite events to attend. Every year we get a fresh take on how to create the most successful program possible, and this year’s conference definitely gave me lots of ideas on how to make my program ‘Bigger and Brighter’. From choreography to technique, coaching to judging, we leave at the end of the weekend with a whole notebook full of notes, tips, and resources. No matter how much teaching/coaching experience you have, you always leave there with new tips and tricks, along with having made lots of new friends. I can’t wait to return, year after year.

Attending the NDCA Conference feels like unlocking a treasure chest of ideas and inspiration. Nowhere else brings together coaches, choreographers, and consultants in such a supportive, energizing way. It’s an experience that leaves you motivated and ready to grow.

I have found that coaching longevity is tied to "fueling the fire." You never know it all. Keep learning. When I attend NDCA, I return home with new ideas to implement, and it is a significant benefit to the athletes I coach. The people you will meet are amazing.

In 2022 I decided to attend my first NDCA Conference and it was by far one of the best things I've ever done for myself as a coach! My team culture and performance level have both improved because of the things I've learned and brought back from this conference.

No matter how much or little experience you have in the coaching industry, the NDCA conference provides something new and innovative to take home. I feel like I am ALWAYS a student of my craft so continuing to learn and grow as a coach is imperative! I have been coaching over 30 years but I feel refreshed after attending the NDCA conference! Just having inspiration and fellow coaches and owners there to learn from and grow is everything!
