“Where was this 20 years ago when I was starting out in the profession?!? The HCTC would have saved me so many sleepless nights, losses and mistakes made as a first time head coach. Brian did a great job of providing speakers with insights on various topics that all coaches NEED. This is a must-attend event for anyone wanting, not only to be a head coach, but a better coach in general.”

“What Brian and his staff provide is truly amazing. The conference gets better and better every year and this year was a home run across the board. Brian’s family treats you like their own, and answers the call on anything and everything. Much love and appreciation to his wife for her unconditional effort and support of so many. Anyone who wants to be in the business, or wants to grow in the business, must come check out the Head Coach Training Center in 2023.”

“The HCTC21 event was everything I hoped for and more. Between the speakers, the interactions with attendees, and the gems that were shared, I walked away with exactly the information I was hoping for. Even with the program being moved to a virtual setting, it did not miss a beat, the presenters were transparent and so knowledgeable. The Whova app was user friendly and allowed for seamless communication and interaction to continue even after the sessions. Many thanks to Brian, the HCTC21 staff, and presenters for the great event.”

“HCTC is the most valuable event I attend each and every year. The knowledge gained from the speakers has provided me new ideas and a sense of security as a new Head Coach. To see and learn from coaches that have gone through the same situations, and what they have done is more valuable than any X’s and O’s talk that I could ever attend. This is a must attend!”

I was very pleased to hear the stories of some of coaches who are considered the best in our business and how they became who they are today. I think it is a great investment for all coaches at any level. I feel that I walked out of HCTC17 better prepared for whatever the future may hold for me in this career.”

I love to get better and hear other’s stories, but let’s face it, coaching has its trials and tribulations. I came back rejuvenated and ready to continue to grow as a Head Coach and better my program. It was fantastic seeing old friends and making new friendships. The HCTC18 was such a great conference that I highly recommend for all levels.”
