Ashley Armstrong
Associate Athletic Director – Sports & Administration
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
“Bo is a dynamic speaker that understands the challenges that coaches are faced with in their pursuit to develop peak performers. He draws on his personal experiences as an elite athlete and research to provide effective strategies that coaches can utilize with their athletes. I highly recommend Bo Hanson as a speaker and workshop presenter.”
William S. Husak, Ph.D.
Athletic Director
Loyola Marymount University
“One of our coaching staff recommended Bo Hanson to present a workshop for our coaches and athletic department at LMU, and I’m so glad they did. Not only was his presentation enjoyable, but his framework of dealing with student-athletes was incredibly useful and the feedback was extremely positive. Bo’s depth of experience was evident through the numerous real-life examples he shared and his ability to relate to our staff was commendable. The discussion among those who attended lasted long after the workshop was complete. In addition, the follow-up with teams and coaches has been outstanding. The time was well spent and we look forward to the next opportunity to have Bo Hanson on campus.”
Wendy Taylor May
Senior Associate Athletics Director – Senior Woman Administrator
University of California, San Diego (UCSD)
“Bo Hanson has presented to our coaches on a number of times over the last three years, and each time the feedback from the coaches and staff attending is excellent. We enjoy and value the insight Bo shares, the relevance it has to our sports programs and the time spent is an important investment in our coaches on-going professional development. We would recommend Bo as a facilitator and speaker to other intercollegiate athletics programs.”

It is a pleasure to be involved with such dedicated professionals.

This review has been instrumental in implementing changes and improvements to the Firebirds program for 2010 and beyond to ensure that the team reaches success in the ANZ Championship in the years to come.
Thank you again for your commitment in 2009, Netball Queensland looks forward to continuing working with Athlete Assessments for our 2010 Elite Programs and in the coming years to ensure that Netball Queensland produces the best Netballers in the country.”
