To be an effective coach requires specific skills which we will teach you as part of this course. But in addition to coaching from the bench, there also other roles that will benefit from the information presented in this class, including:
Dr. Jim Krause, President of Winning Sports Programs and Board Chairman of WSE International, brings a wealth of experience to anyone in coaching. Coach Krause has had a 25+ year coaching career with stops at every level, including top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the University of Oregon basketball team under Jim Haney.
Dr. Krause’s coaching experience has included basketball, football, softball, baseball and golf at the University level and basketball, men's and women's soccer and softball at High School.
Jim's diverse background as an athletic director, coach, and professional sports president, general manager, event coordinator, and teacher enables him to guide and train you for any situation. If experience truly is the best teacher Dr. Jim Krause is your greatest asset in learning after having worked or consulted for: The University of Oregon, NABC Convention & NCAA Final Four, DGI (Sports Association of Denmark), 1996 Olympics, Alabama A&M University, University of Alabama, GM of the Huntsville Fire (professional sports team), Title IX Consultant, YMCA, and the NAIA National Office.
Dr. Krause has authored three books on the game of basketball including, Guardians of the Game, a Legacy of Leadership, and believes building championship programs is a process that can be learned and repeated regardless of sport or level.
Dr. Lynn Lashbrook, President of Sports Management Worldwide has served at the collegiate level as a coach, scout, recruiter, athletic academic advisor, compliance officer, and athletic director. He was an Assistant Athletic Director at the University of Missouri, before becoming a Director of Athletics at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. He turned down the AD job at Western Michigan University so he could begin developing his own sports management company.
As an athletic director, Dr. Lashbrook improved athlete graduation rates, increased ticket sales, bettered school participation in athletics, initiated and successfully completed a Student Recreation Center, established the first-ever NCAA athletic exchange with Russia, and achieved record levels of fundraising and alumni donations.
During his administration, he had recognized programs in collegiate hockey, football, basketball, baseball, track, and rifle. Dr. Lashbrook understands the importance of ethical leadership and power of the podium and bringing out community spirit through sports. In 1985, Dr. Lashbrook served as President of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics.
“Timmy wants to be coached. He wants to be coached to this day.”
The “Timmy” referred to above is none other than five-time NBA champion, two-time NBA MVP, and 14-time NBA All-Star Tim Duncan.
The quote, from his former assistant coach with the Spurs Mike Budenholzer, illustrates how even the greatest players of all-time yearn for proper coaching. And even if you aren’t currently coaching a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, the need for coaches with the right skills is never-ending.
If you want to take your coaching skills to the next level, this is the course for you!
Led by Dr. James Krause, President of Winning Sports Programs and a former collegiate coach in basketball, football, softball, baseball and golf and Dr. Lynn Lashbrook founder of Sports Management Worldwide and experienced at the collegiate level as a coach, scout, recruiter, athletic academic advisor, compliance officer, and athletic director, our 8-week online course will give you strategies and tactics to take your coaching skills to the next level.
Unlike most online classes, we focus our program on interactive zoom video chats directly with your course mentors, which allows you the opportunity to build personal relationships and rapport with these successful leaders in the coaching industry. After completing our Coaching at the Next Level course, we will help you redesign your resume to highlight your new skills and include that you have been taught first-hand by Dr. James Krause. Now that is powerful!
With an endless array of teams needing qualified coaches at all levels - including professional, club, collegiate, high school and recreational – this is a unique opportunity to improve upon your coaching skills and advance your coaching career.
Coaching is about much more than drawing up plays and orchestrating game plans. The true art of coaching is in the ability to get a group of people to stretch beyond their current abilities. Often this comes from a deep understanding of group dynamics and how to get the most out of a collection of people.
“The goals of this course are simple,” says Dr. James Krause, Coaching at the Next Level course mentor. “Students get a coaching foundation with the reading and assignments, get a specific understanding of what the qualifications are for the level they are aspiring to get to, create a final project that aids the professional goals and objectives and, have 100% access to me for as long as it takes.
“I have students working with me today that took the course 10 years ago. I open a window of communication for that opportunity and several have used it to their advantage.”
Coaching at all levels is focused on results, but results come in forms other than just wins and losses. Recruiting, fundraising, community involvement, sponsorship generation, graduation rates and leadership skills are just a few of the additional metrics used to determine the success of a coach.
“Anyone in coaching or wanting to be in coaching can benefit from this program,” informs Dr. Krause. “I have had people with no experience, youth sports, middle school sports, high school sports, college sports and pro sports take the class and get something out of it. I help move folks from assistant to head coach and level to level.”
In this one-of-a-kind class, we’ll teach you how to become a strong coach in all areas of coaching and running a team including:
Dr. Lynn Lashbrook and Dr. Jim Krause are going to provide you with a non-sport specific opportunity to examine your skill sets, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and determine your priorities in motivation, leadership and team building.
“What I teach students is the nuances of navigating the profession,” says Dr. Krause. “I teach them that there are certain things that they must do and certain things that they must avoid. I teach them all the things that I learned over the 40 years I was in coaching and administration and how to avoid the mistakes that I made and the mistakes that we see others make as we observe the profession.”
Included in the course curriculum will be insider information about coaching at the high school, university and professional levels. You will finish the course knowing the routes necessary for achieving your dream job and the necessary personal priorities for taking that next step in this highly competitive profession.
At the end of this course, you will be more confident in your coaching abilities and have more skills you can use to increase the exposure, fundraising ability and media relations of your team.

SMWW was a great choice for me. I am a university student and love sports. With a lot of universities not having many programs around sports, this was great. My university approved the course and I earned credits. SMWW is very flexible to fit around whatever you are doing. Awesome experience. If you're a student or looking to get involved in the business, then this is the place for you.

I felt the course was almost perfect...The books were outstanding and I looked forward to the reading assignments each week. I really enjoyed the insight that Jonathan and Maury brought each and every week...wonderful instructors!

Dr. Krause brought alot of insight from personal experience into the discussions. What he had to share was always pertainent and useful. He showed respect for his students and provided us with information that was both practical and challenging. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is considering a career as an AD as well as those who are already there.

My first head coaching job was the conference door-mat. With Jim' Krause's help, I changed some staff, focused on our younger player's development and devised a daily, weekly and yearly plan for success. We have had three straight seasons of improvement and a .500 record.

The course was fun and very informative. The addition of ISS makes this course that much greater. The weekly chats are the key to the program, and are so very informative. I have a new approach the game I love, and it makes it that much better. Thanks SMWW!
