Testimonials
Hear what young coaches say about the 30 Under 30 program!
“I was fortunate to be a part of the 30 under 30 program. This past week was filled with countless once in a lifetime experiences which are still mind blowing in themselves. I was able to build so many new relationships with exhibitors, fellow 30 under 30 attendees, coaches stateside and international, ASCA board members, speakers, and in addition ASCA’s CEO Jenn LaMont. Being part of the 30 under 30 helped me break out of my shell faster than normal, so much so I found myself striking up conversations with coaches I had never met. I implore you to apply for the 30 under 30 program and get to the World Clinic.”

“Going into the World Clinic, I had no baseline for what a good or bad conference would be. I was completely blown away by the excellence of the conference and all those involved in putting on this amazing event. The knowledge and experience of all of the coaches at the conference was par to none. I am grateful for the experience and being part of the 30 under 30 truly made the conference even better. It was amazing to meet new coaches as well as connect with old friends. The connections I made with the group as well as the Board members, solidified my confidence in myself to coach at a high level. I truly believe that the more that you put into yourself, the more that you will get out. If you are considering applying for the grant, I heavily encourage you to do as the knowledge and connections made are worth more than any other clinic you could attend!”
