Elite Team Program

“Bo and Athlete Assessments were an invaluable tool for me as a new Coach with a new group. It allowed me to make quicker connections with the athletes, understand how to best communicate with them and understand everyone as individuals.”

“Working with Athlete Assessments and using their DISC Profiles has been revolutionary. Our players have gained so much from learning about their own profiles and those of the rest of the team. After working with Athlete Assessments, it created a greater awareness that we all have different skills and all bring something to the team.”

“Athlete Assessments made us a tougher team and that toughness is one reason why we were so great this year.  They learned how to reset when things didn’t go as planned, they learned that taking full advantage of an uncomfortable situation makes them better, and they learned that they can endure much more work than they thought they could.”

“The most valuable thing that I gained from Athlete Assessments was that the understanding of who I was helped me better coach who they were.”

“Our program recognizes the strengths of DISC and our staff could not be happier with the results it has yielded. I would recommend DISC to those coaches who have a passion for becoming better at understanding their athletes and getting the most effective performances out of them.”

“We had been so close in three previous championship games and I knew this was the missing link. It was through Bo’s assistance that we found a way to get closer to team synergy. Ultimately, the trust we created was what provided immense value to the end result.”

“Bo and Athlete Assessments guided us through the people side of the championship formula and the results are unmistakable. Bo inspired us and educated us that learning to understand the people in our program is the greatest advantage in guiding us back to a championship program.”

“DISC has given our team a much better understanding of themselves and others and created a common language to discuss our similarities and differences. It has totally enhanced our communication both on and off the field.”

“The use of Athlete Assessments and CoachDISC has had a tremendous impact on the culture of our program. As Coaches, we have been able to really dig deep and gain a better understanding of who we are as individuals and why we do what we do.”

“Working with Athlete Assessments has been invaluable to our team culture because our student-athletes were challenged by Bo to be vulnerable with their teammates, to recognize and acknowledge what makes themselves and their teammates great, and to understand how their behaviors directly impact the ability of our team to be successful.” 

“I’ve been working with Bo Hanson and using the Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles for a few years now. I really enjoy working with him and he has significantly helped me understand my players and how to get the most out of each one of them.”

“Bo’s knowledge, expertise and guidance was critical to our success in the Firebirds undefeated premiership season of 2011 and 2015 Championship. He is an integral part of our ‘team’ and the success of winning we all strive for.”

“Bo Hanson and Athlete Assessments has a comprehensive program that will help a coach guide and navigate their team to greater success.” 

“Athlete Assessments really helped us connect with one another. Bo did an outstanding job helping our staff and players understand how important the team dynamic is to be successful.”

“While I know that Athlete Assessments is a business, I never feel like it when working with them. Bo and Liz genuinely care about our success. I know during one of our talks the staff was at a loss and didn’t know how to proceed and Bo calmed us down and led us to a better solution. He didn’t give us an answer, he just led us there.”

“Athlete Assessments gives every athlete an opportunity to review their approach to training and competition – to take the insights gained and really leverage their performance off a new platform. You’ve done a great job! Congrats.” 

“Since both staff and players use the DISC tool, it is diverse in its usage. Players can use it to connect better with their teammates. Staff can use it to communicate better with their players, and use it amongst themselves to improve their understanding and appreciation of one another.”

“As part of our program’s initial leadership development processes, our athletes explore their unique strengths and styles through the Athlete Assessments AthleteDISC Profile Reports. Our breakthrough was players being able to understand each other’s needs and ultimately want what’s best for the team.” 

“Coaching is all about helping your athletes through their journey of self-discovery, and that’s what I think is so great about sport and Athlete Assessments’ suite of DISC profiling tools specifically. They provide an efficient way to gain an understanding of ourselves and our athletes.” 

“The most important aspects of DISC are the learning around self-awareness and communication with others. Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles are the foundation for getting the best out of people.”

“We integrated Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles into our training regimen. Understanding each player's DISC Profile has been instrumental in optimizing our communication and team cohesion. It allows us to leverage each player's strengths and preferences, fostering a more collaborative and supportive environment.”

"My background in counseling and psychology means data and using proven methods, so knowing that Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles are backed by research, statistics and validity is really important. Our players have responded really well to the program, and I have seen favorable growth in our culture, but the validity is why I have so much confidence in the program.”

“The consultation and entire process was excellent… The continued chat after the presentation was a highlight of our camp, with many people referring to themselves as it’s because I’m an ‘I’, etc. We look forward to referring to what they have learned well into the future and potentially would like to get our male athletes through this process later in the year. Thank you for all your assistance throughout”

"It has streamlined communication, reduced conflict, and empowered athletes to take ownership of their team culture. It's taken work, but I feel like we’re at a place where the athletes are really driving the program. And that’s a great place to be."

"Even the practice of going through the assessment, meeting together with other student-athletes, and learning about what DISC is, that in itself is out of the student-athlete’s routine and such a benefit. One, you know more about yourself. Two, you learn how to be a better teammate. And three, you understand how to work with others in different environments.”
