“ What I wanted to get from the Expert Course was greater confidence in
Implementing the exercises with my athletes.

It has impacted my programming tremendously, I have learned how to cue my athletes through the exercises, how to give support whether physically or verbally ,when to step in and when to fade my physical or verbal prompting .

And finally, when communicating with my athletes, I am able to label the exercises consistently, especially in the first couple of sessions .  I feel so empowered from taking the Autism Fitness Expert Course."

“Expert Course was a logical step after Level 1, because we work in a small and focused group. From the Expert Course I wanted to get more specific information and ideas on how to improve my work with athletes. Biggest challenge before Expert Course was how to individualize, scale and transferable programs that I can work individually and in small groups.

Takeaways messages  from Expert Course were how to make appropriate contingency, how to assess, adapt and monitor the progress process of each athlete. It impacted me and helped me a lot to have better programming and communication skills to react and expand knowledge to be more prepared and share that knowledge with my athletes."

"I took the Autism Fitness Expert Course Certification course in 2021. I wanted to have a more in-depth understanding of neurodivergent body movements; being able to create an effective and functional exercise program that fits each of my athlete’s unique needs and deficits. I do not have a kinestheology background, so I was not confident in my programming to be beneficial to my athletes. In the Expert Course Certification course, it was more of a collaborative environment, while giving helpful insights to aid each athlete/program. I have since participated in many discussions, and not only learned from Eric Chessen, but from each other. Everyone had a different background and experience; I was able to incorporate what I learned from my peers and use it to better my athletes."  

"I took Expert Course to expand my knowledge of fitness programming for the neurodivergent community that I serve and for my own son.

As a parent of an autistic child and an Autism Fitness Professional, I strive to help athletes on the spectrum achieve happier, healthier lives through exercise. The Expert Course went in depth and helped me gain a deeper understanding of the exercises we use to create individualized programs.

Prior to the Expert Course, I struggled with the insecurities of whether I was developing the right programs for my athletes or using the right progressions or modifications.  After the wealth of knowledge and confidence I gained from Expert Course, I no longer struggle with self-doubt in my athlete’s programs.  

I would highly recommend the Expert Course course for individuals serious about using the tools and knowledge they gained in Pro Course to help the ASD community. Not only will you hone your skills as a coach, but you will gain a community of support and resources in the other Expert Course candidates and coaches that are invaluable."
