As both a mental performance and elite level and highly licensed soccer coach, I can confidently say that the Tandem Performance course and app have been some of the most valuable resources I've encountered in my career. The course has deepened my understanding of the crucial coach-athlete relationship and its profound impact on performance. It not only enhanced my knowledge of Dr. Jowett’s 3 Cs + 1 coaching model, but also provided me with practical tools and strategies to strengthen these relationships in the competitive environment. The Tandem app has become an essential part of my approach to coaching, offering clear, actionable insights that will help me, my coaches, and athletes continue to grow and perform at our best. I'm excited to incorporate it as a key assessment tool moving forward! (Tim Bennett)

Tandem Performance is an incredibly valuable tool for me.   I really like the feedback it gave and I think it will be really good for players and coaches to see it. I think the forms go into really good detail about the relationship in general and the specific parts where players or coaches feel that there can be some growth.  What I really like is how it dives deep into the relationship and highlights the specific areas where I can grow. It helped me understand where improvements can be made in communication, trust, and other aspects of my relatonship witht my coach. I really believe it will make a big difference in helping me develop and grow my relationship with my coach. (Athlete of a Participant Coach)
