"Now I Walk With My Chin Up A Little Higher..." "I was struggling to deal constructively with individual players and their strengths and weaknesses. The ACA program gave me more insights into working with parents, and greater confidence in working with the athletic program, my assistants and players. Now, my confidence is very high. Now I even walk with my chin up a little higher than normal! I also have a better understanding of practice planning and more ways to reach and encourage my players. I would highly recommend this program for primary training or continuing education." Pedro Ortega Baseball Coach Middle School Athletic Director Sedona, Arizona "This program will give you focus, inspire and motivate you." Kevin Baetz Gloria Dei Lutheran Academy Eagles, Davie, Florida "Parents Know I Mean Business!" "Before the ACA, I was frustrated with discipline issues and keeping the kids focused. I have learned to apply different methods for issues with behavior and focus. Parents know I mean business! Dealing with discipline has changed my entire way of coaching. I'm taking a much more "positive" approach, making these kids want to come back every practice, and have fun during the games. Whether they lost or won, they feel like they did a good job." Jim Grimes Youth Soccer and Basketball Coach, Brunswick, Maine "The varied scenarios reflected real world situations. It helped me to understand coaching from a communication standpoint, not just x's and o's." Chris McClurg North Gwinnett Bulldogs Football Sugar Hill, GA

Hi there, Coach...

Ever notice how some folks seem like they were born to be coaches?

How those coaches always seem to know exactly the right thing to do in any situation?

How those coaches easily convince players, administrators, colleagues… and even parents to follow their every instruction without fail and without question?

And how those coaches command respect from everyone?

Well, you may already know that we call these guys (and ladies) “Alpha Coaches" - the big enchiladas, the ones who other coaches come to for tips and advice... who can quite a room just by entering.

And I want to let you in on a secret about them…

The Alpha Coaches who inspire such loyalty, who win such devotion and who command so much respect…

... they know there is NO magic voodoo to winning the loyalty, devotion and respect of their team, parents and colleagues.

They don’t have any hidden tactics, secret handshakes, or magic words to use. They simply follow a formula.

And I’m here to share the formula with you.

Here's the formula: You take any group of athletes and demand nothing less than their absolute best.

And you demand it by communicating with them in a way that resonates deeply and moves them to action.

It's really that simple.That’s how Alpha coaches do it. And it works so well for them because…

1. Athletes crave their leadership.

2. Other coaches and administrators are starved for the unifying energy they bring to the table.

3. Parents are desperate for good role models for their children.

And once you understand the needs of your players, their parents, and your colleagues, establishing yourself as the Alpha Coach is flat-out easy.

So why isn't every
coach an Alpha Coach?

Here's why: Where most coaches get stuck (and we're talking about everyone from raw rookie to grizzled veteran)...

... is in finding the kind of coaching strategy that works… for every player… for every parent… and for every situation

Now that may sound like an over-simplification of the problem… but it’s true. Most coaches don't know how to be coaches.

Did you know that 91% of the 2.46 million amateur coaches in this country have had little to no training on how to be a coach?

Zip. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

They’re just thrown into the job and expected to magically become “coaches.” As if a silver whistles have some sort of magical power. As if it's a magic necklace out of a Harry Potter movie that instantly transforms the wearer into a coach.

Well, as we all know, it simply doesn’t work that way.

Good coaches… great coaches... Alpha Coaches aren’t born… they’re made. And it takes knowledge, skills and experience to make an Alpha Coach.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to take long to get those things.

The fastest way to become an Alpha coach is to take the right knowledge and use the right skills in real life scenarios so you can get the right experience.

The bad news is that there are so many resources, and so many ways of getting the skills knowledge and experience, that it can be overwhelming… unless you pull together a team of experts… and have THEM put together the process for you.

That’s exactly what we’ve done at the American Coaching Academy.

And that’s why our notoriously simple, yet devastatingly effective certification process for coaches...

... is being devoured and implemented in every corner of the sports world.

See for yourself. Just take a look at how our "success storie"s and "case studies" on this page covers staggering numbers of rookies and seasoned coaches singing our praises.

And if that’s not enough… take a look at the high marks that these pro-level experts give us:

What sets us apart is this: Not only do we give you the knowledge, skills and experience that you need… we also teach you how to use those tools to communicate with your team.

And if there is a "magic bullet" for becoming the kind of coach that inspires loyalty, dedication and respect (from players, colleagues, parents… and even opponents)...

... it is simply knowing how to communicate in the most effective way, given the people, situation and issue at hand.

When you can do that, everyone around you will instantly understand that you’re the one to trust.

They’ll automatically recognize that you have that one-in-a-million quality to take charge and get the job done… in every situation..

And you can’t get this mother lode of knowledge from just anywhere:

	How-to books don't work. Sure, a lot of them give some good information, but let’s be honest… most of the books are drier than a cow skull in Death Valley. You simply can’t take dry theory and abstract instructions and apply it effectively to living, breathing kids, parents and colleagues. (That’s like playing armchair quarterback before the game starts… it just doesn’t work.)
	College courses aren’t the answer. Listen, sitting in a class room listening to some teacher lecture about coaching… then going home and reading about coaching… then writing papers about coaching… and then taking tests about coaching won’t make you a good coach. All the principles and theory and rules and instructions fly out the window when confronted with real people, real conflicts, and real opponents. And we haven’t even factored in tuition (up to $12,000 for one certification program!), and textbook costs, and the virtual impossibility of finding a program near you that works with your schedule… and within your time frame.
	Even correspondence courses force you to conform to their arbitrary deadlines, rather than letting you work at your convenience. Plus, you have the interminable period of waiting for your CDs, DVDs and manuals to arrive. Where are they shipping these things from… China? (probably)

"Helped Me Land A Job As Athletic Director" "A beneficial program that goes beyond what typical state coaching certification programs teach. You will gain practical information that you can put in use immediately. It would be an awesome program for a new coach but even an experienced coach can get some new ideas or verification of some of what they already do. The organizational information helped me as a coach and was beneficial in helping me land a job as an athletic director this year." Glendale Zell Athletic Director Waggener Traditional H.S. Louisvile, KY "Greatly added to my coaching and understanding of the big picture." Clint Boston Green Mountain Rams High School Varsity/JV Cross Country and Track Lakewood, Colorado "Improved My Confidence Immensely!" "Before this program, I had some frustrations in dealing with some parents, as well as athlete issues and their specific needs. The certification has improved my confidence immensely! The material I learned will definitely help me manage the parents more effectively. My biggest "Ah-Ha" moment was learning was the actual expectations of a coach and what exactly the defined role is. I got specific examples on how to coach individual athletes as well as a team, and also how to handle parent influences. I just finished working in a hockey school where I was instructing groups of goaltenders from ages 7-15. The younger kids were never an issue it was always the older athletes and especially the more talented ones. What I learned in the course gave me plenty of ideas to overcome some of the tentativeness that I had." Brent Babyck Crusaders Hockey (8-10) Sherwood Park AB, Canada "I Was Voted Coach Of The Month!" "Prior to taking the course, I was somewhat insecure, practice sessions were not properly planned. My biggest discovery was the exercise on planning and goal setting. This was the key for everything else falling in place. I have gained that level of confidence to effectively communicate with the athletes, I have been more assertive, and I have learned to set goals. The ACA certification has caused my confidence level to rise, and my ability to teach and motivate has also been quite effective. When I speak it’s with passion and confidence, even moreover I was voted coach of the month for June in my local league! I highly recommend the ACA certification course to any coach. If you want to excel and improve your team’s work ethics and confidence level, ACA certification gives you that knowledge, which is power, to do so. The materials covered in the ACA certification course will definitely get you started in taking action to realize your goal as a coach. ACA empowers you with the tools needed to set goals, management & social skills for life." Yvonne Lockhart BahamasAir Flyers Softball Freeport, Grand Bahama, Bahamas

The sad fact is... most coach training systems out there (both online and offline)...

...are flying BLIND when it comes to training coaches AND meeting their unique set of needs.

They literally throw stuff into the mix of requirements – lectures, class attendance, deadlines, research papers, textbooks – and then PRAY that it makes you a better coach.

And more often than not, the people putting these requirements together haven't taken their nose out of a book long enough to know what really goes on at practice... in the locker room... in competition... and in meetings with parents and administrators.

They just don't get it.

Because they haven't got a clue about what really DOES work to consistently create effective, inspiring, and respected coaches who make a difference in their players’ lives.

That doesn’t help you. Because you need a system that has been proven to work.

Because if you don’t clearly understand how to customize your coaching to fit the player, the situation, and the issue at hand…

... you will forever struggle, and likely remain a permanent member in the horde of floundering, worried, insecure, and lost wanna-be coaches struggling to make it to the end of each season.

Please allow this Reality Check
to sink in.

Unless you know how to customize your coaching for every situation... no drill, philosophy, or team-building-exercise-of-the-moment will transform you into an Alpha Coach.

Players won’t fight to get on teams just because a coach has the best drills… or went to the best school… or read the most books.

They fight to get on teams that have coaches who have earned respect… who inspire those around them… and who make the players believe in themselves.

What you DO need is to allow the simple secrets of how to customize your coaching to be introduced directly into your brain. (It's painless and fun.)

It doesn't take long to nail this skill (when you have just a little bit of help).

In fact, it's truly simple to accomplish, especially with expert guidance at your fingertips.
And once you "get" it...

... THEN whatever coaching activity you do – team practice, administrative meeting, parent participation, competition – you will have the juice to motivate, connect, and inspire everyone you meet.

In ways that will astound you… and make others sit up and take notice.

Once this fundamental revelation takes root... you're may be wondering:

Can you really learn how to do this, quickly and easily?

The simple answer: Heck, yes, you can.

Again, take a glance at the flood of testimonials here... from coaches just like you (as well as coaches in every other sport and age group imaginable).

We’ve taken the most inexperienced... stubborn... hard to teach... set-in-their-ways... and scared students you've ever seen...

... and, through this step-by-step simulation-based course, we've...

... swept away any confusion and insecurities about coaching… and transformed them into MONSTERS of motivation who finally command the respect of everyone around them.

Again, it's not voodoo.

It’s a system. The same system we’ve used since 2005 to provide teams with some of the best, most inspiring, most respected, and most beloved coaches in their communities...

What we offer here is a proven formula, broken down into 8 simple, logical categories that ensure you communicate the right message to the right audience...

...in every situation.

Whether you need to motivate an insecure player... confront a problem parent... or inspire your team to pull together…

... having this simple skill plugged into your brain makes the coaching easier, more effective, and TONS more rewarding than just “winging it.”

The system we teach is an eight-part simulation to walk you through the real-life scenarios faced by every coach at one point in their career or another.

Often, you don't even need to run through the entire course before you and your team benefit from the simulations.

(In fact, most of our biggest "Success Stories" come from coaches who had sudden "a-HA!" epiphanies -- where everything fell together -- almost immediately after digging into the process.)

This is easy. And you can do it at home, at your own pace.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

And it doesn’t matter if you're a raw rookie with zero experience... or a seasoned veteran who's finally realized it's time to get serious about unleashing their hidden Alpha Coach… this WORKS.

The simulated scenarios are exactly what former students consistently report WORKED for them: Having a clear, simple system that puts you in the action...

... supported by easy (yet critical) action steps that cement each concept into your brain.

Come with us... and we'll show how effective and inspirational you can be (for the rest of your career).

	Your team will come together.
	Your players’ parents will respect you.
	Your colleagues will admire you.
	Your players will remember you forever… as a positive influence in their lives.

And we’ll walk you through scenarios to prepare you for situations before you encounter them in real life. Situations that are explosive minefields for unprepared coaches…

...addressing the emotional needs of your players ...

...motivating young athletes to meet their potential and inspiring them to exceed their own expectations...

…winning over even the most meddling and argumentative parents…

... will be fully locked-and-loaded in your brain, with all the tactics, strategies and hidden "mojo" used by the most famous and widely respected coaches in history.

In this program...

	You get the vital information that every coach needs (but very few have)…
	You get the low-down on how to use what you know in every aspect of coaching…
	and
	You actually APPLY THESE LITTLE-KNOWN SECRETS TO REAL LIFE SCENARIOS!

But don’t get me wrong… this may sound like complicated, rocket-scientist stuff, but it’s not. It’s ridiculously easy.

In fact, it’s so easy that you may think everyone knows this stuff already. Well, if that were true, everyone you meet would be an Alpha Coach.

But here’s the kicker… virtually no coach is putting this into action! That’s why coaches who complete our program rocket past their colleagues in status and have every player kicking, scratching and clawing their way onto their team.

And all because we give you a roadmap on how to customize your communication so that you approach every single interaction with confidence and conviction.

This works on players, parents, colleagues, and officials. But trust me, you won’t stop there.

Once you master this deceptively simple tactic, your life will change (literally overnight!)

Because you’ll finally be crystal clear about how to put all your knowledge and skills into action… you will be UNSTOPPABLE!

That's where all these sizzling testimonials you see on this page came from. (And no, there is absolutely no guarantee that you will see the same kind of results. Every coach is different. But there’s no reason you can’t match or exceed the success of others on the page.)

This isn’t a magic wand.

We just provide you with a systematic, simple, proven series of obvious tools...

... that -- if you will only USE those tools -- can suddenly and dramatically transform your ability to inspire those around you.

	No matter what sport you coach.
	No matter who your players are.
	No matter how you define "success".

And especially... no matter if you've never coached before or if you've experienced every coaching headache under the sun!

Some of the folks who've seen the biggest results from this program...

... include high school bench warmers who never excelled at sports...

... College athletes turned coaches who were superstar players, but were lost when it came to coaching...

... and even people who never played a sport in their life!

They got into coaching to spend time with their own children, or because they wanted to make a difference in their communities by helping out local kids.

So your athletic track record really has nothing to do at all with your success as a coach.

All that's really required to unleash your inner Alpha Coach is to:

• Stop making excuses...


• Find a proven resource where you can quickly learn what you need to learn...


• And make the decision to get started.

It's not complicated.

Here are the details:

We've been teaching since 2005... and it took a long time to figure out the best way to spoon-feed good information, advice and tactics into your head.

The simple "inject it to your brain" exercises in this online course are designed to install these new skills and communication processes quickly and permanently.

But let me be clear… you're not dealing with theory. You can go read a book for theory.

No. Instead, you are ACTIVELY LEARNING THE EXACT PROCESSES that have created some of the most effective… most inspiring… most respected coaches in the world.

The lessons take you through the entire system. Step by step.

And because you need the full perspective...

... you get to see how other coaches -- from all kinds of backgrounds, in all kinds of situations, with all kinds of excuses and fears and insecurities with coaching–would respond to these same exercises...

... to get initiated, quickly and easily, into the systematic application of the steps.

Scenario-based lessons form the foundation of the American Coaching Academy certification system.

Thousands of coaches before you have field-tested these expert-designed lessons. The lessons are guaranteed and skyrocket your status when you put them in action.

And once you finish the course?

Simply print out your certificate and catapult your credibility into the stratosphere.

And you’ll finish the course in no time, because you do it at your convenience. You’ll complete the entire course in your own home, at your own computer, and at your own pace.

No lectures to attend. No textbooks to buy. No DVDs or manuals to wait for, watch and read. You can get started just seconds from now.

You'll even earn valuable ACA credits that demonstrate your commitment to continuous improvement -- and identify you as

A Respected
Coaching Authority

Just enroll today and you'll get all 10 bonuses ($310 value) for FREE!

If the material is as good as I say (which it is), simply do nothing and your enrollment will continue. Every month, we’ll send you another set of coaching tools and the opportunity to earn 3 more ACA credits, and you’ll be automatically charged a monthly tuition of only $19.95.

There's no obligation, and you can withdraw your enrollment at any time (even if you just want to review all the material for free, then withdraw before receiving anything else).

If you’d prefer not to join our Continuing Education Program and receive these amazing free bonuses, you can opt out with one click on our secure enrollment page. But don’t hesitate – this free bonus opportunity is only available when you enroll today.

Getting a four year coaching degree at a college or university starts at around $12,000 a year... and course material is usually heavy on theory... and light on practical application.

Even a basic coaching certificate at those same schools typically runs in the $4000.00 range... and takes up to 12 months to complete.

And weekend conferences for certification certainly aren't cheap either. By the time you add in your clinic entry, transportation expenses, hotel, and food, and you're easily talking $700.00 or more.

(not to mention the time away from your family)

But the ACA certification program is different. You complete the material entirely online, right over your computer. You don't need to travel anywhere... or order any extra books or videos.

But the cost of maintaining this advanced, user-friendly interface that meets the demands of our members adds up.

We do everything to keep costs down, but we don’t want to compromise on your learning experience. So, to maintain quality while providing value, we’ve set the program cost at $197.

Here’s the good news…

We’re not the only ones who know the value that quality, dedicated and respected coaches give to the community. We're grateful to have people and organizations (they want to remain anonymous) who want to support our work.

And so, they have pledged to help cover some of the costs of administering this program. What that means is we can offer you a

A $100 Scholarship

… bringing your tuition down to just $97 (or 3 monthly payments of just $37).

Here’s the bad news…

Given today’s economy, we don’t know how long we can count on their support. This scholarship opportunity can disappear at any time. But for now, thanks to their generosity, we’re able to offer you the program at the reduced cost.

And to make it even more of a no-brainer, you don't even have to say "Yes" today. Just say "Maybe" because you're covered by my personal, iron-clad...

Why would I make such a lopsided guarantee in your favor?

Well, the truth is, I'm not really worried about students dropping out.

Because the ACA system works for teams of all shapes and sizes... male teams... female teams... rec leagues and competitive leagues... it doesn't matter.

Coaches from every background are raving about this amazing "learn-it-fast" system for success!

And whether you're brand new to coaching... or a 40 year veteran, I'm 100% sure that this certification program will be the best investment you’ve ever made.

Listen, there's something else I need to mention... please don't take it the wrong way.

To the ACA - financially - it doesn't matter if you invest in this course or not.  We didn't start this organization to make money.  We're in this to improve the quality of coaching education across the US and around the world... and thousands of coaches are already lining up to get certified.

Your decision to get certified won't affect my life one way or another... I'll still be doing research in my coaching "lab"... and driving a '03 Civic to work every day. 

But I guarantee it will affect yours.

With the secrets you'll discover inside this program, you'll be

A Thousand Times
More Confident

And you'll be shocked and delighted at the newfound RESPECT you'll get from players, parents, and administrators.

Think of how good it’ll feel to have a recognized American Coaching Academy credential in your back pocket.

And how confident you'll be when making tough decisions about player personnel, team strategy, handling parents and managing your team… KNOWING that you’re backed up by decades of proven research and real world application.

But don’t wait.  This $100 scholarship offer and the $310 in FREE coaching tools are only guaranteed if you enroll today.

The next move is up to you.  Your ACA Certification is as risk free as an offer can come. If you’re committed to coaching, and want to be taken seriously by your players and peers, then you’ll kick yourself forever if you miss this incredible opportunity.

And you and I both know - if you’ve read this far in the letter, you’re seriously interested in getting this valuable credential now.

All that’s left to do now is take action.  Get started now!

Sincerely,

Ben Baker
President
American Coaching Academy
