Ray’s online coach development programmes incorporate fascinating content, clear support tools, and are excellent value for money. Open to everyone’s ideas and questions, he makes the coach learning process a most enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!
(Jim Fallon)
The amount of information that goes into the courses that Ray develops and delivers is amazing and useful for both yours and the players development. You always come away with more than you expected and eager to go further down the 'rabbit hole'.
(Darren Horsman)
Ray's Coach Development Programmes have been the best CPDs I have taken part in. They are excellent for both new coaches and coaches with 20+ years at any level who want to learn, teach, and network. All the content provided in these CDPs by Ray and the Presenters he lines up have provided new methods to connect with players, organize and run sessions to name a few. Always something to learn.
(Cory Reinard)
Meeting Ray has been one of my highlights in my time coaching. As an educator he has an absolute ability to bring topics to the table that engage your brain and are full of lightbulb moments. I am a repeat participant because of the value Ray offers. It's impossible not to learn and leave the course not a better coach.
(David Poncia)
Having undertaken 4 of Rays CDP courses I can honestly say they are the best courses I have done whilst coaching. You get the opportunity to sit down virtually with some of the best minds in the game. You also get the chance to network with 50+ coaches from around the world from all levels of the game, something no other course I have done offers. No matter what level you are coaching, be it grassroots or academy level, Ray’s courses are a must.
(Chris Edwards)
Highly thought provoking, educational and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
(Mark Simpson)
Ray's courses are always filled with top-level speakers, engaging tasks and quality interactions with him and the participants. Would definitely recommend!
