Professor of Sport Psychology
“My sport psychology students truly value their opportunity to learn through Athlete Assessments’ DISC Profiles. Their self-reflection papers and other assignments throughout the semester suggest that they make deep connections between what they learn in their profiles and the supplemental materials, and their own lives.”

Assistant Professor
“I cannot tell you how many times a student has told me something along the lines of, ‘I was very impressed with DISC and what I learned from the experience... I really learned a lot about myself, and how to work with others.’ Once they have their profile and have read their reports, they get to see it all play out through different class exercises.”

Associate Professor, Advanced Principles of Coaching
“At the University of Northern Colorado it’s all about application... Through the CoachDISC and guest lectures with Liz, the partnership helps me provide the opportunity for my students to begin to build a foundation for their coaching philosophy and coaching behaviors (and style). This is their first chance to self-reflect within the context of coaching and Athlete Assessments helps facilitate their early growth and development as an effective coach.”

Teaching Specialist in Coaching
“[DISC] helps my students grasp the different styles of individuals they will probably come in to contact with. And while everyone is not one specific style, it helps them understand or start to think about relationships they have in their own lives and why they get along better with some people over others. It is so cool to see how students implement DISC in our classroom discussion and point out specific behaviors they see in others that relate to how they need to communicate with that individual.”

Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs
“It’s critically important that students start by understanding themselves. When you look at any dimension of leadership and leadership behavior, if you don’t understand yourself first and foremost, it is pretty tough to lead other people. You can use an assessment to create awareness and ultimately an ability to leverage your strength”

Executive Director of the Center for Leadership
"What I love about the CoachDISC and AthleteDISC is that they are already in sportspeak. We don’t have to figure out how to utilize some of the concepts to make it fit, it already fits! DISC is not just going to help you with your sport, it’s going to help with the relationships you have, how you interact and engage in class projects, or your profession."

Executive Director of the Cooper Athletics Leadership Program
"In any sport, they have their own set of language. In the leadership space, I’m trying to create a common language that we can all understand and use interchangeably, so when we’re talking about conflict, motivation, stress, and results, we tie it all into DISC."

“The CoachDISC Profile has added a perspective that supports, extends, and personalizes our curriculum in a way that students’ appreciate. It is no wonder then that the student feedback on the CoachDISC has been overwhelmingly positive despite the added cost.”
