Connecting The Dots is an online course stacked with practical knowledge and tips that can easily be applied today, and will make you better as a sports performance professional working with team sports athletes.
HI, I'M KRISTIAN SKARPHAGEN
Here's why I created Connecting The Dots
I've been working within the field of sports performance for eleven years, and been fortunate enough to work in the best sports academy in Sweden, as well as in pro hockey both in Russia (KHL) and North America (NHL).
I've met a lot of high level coaches and athletes - many very extraordinary and a few maybe not so great. The good thing is that we can learn from all of them.
A problem team sports are facing is the frequency of injuries. Even bigger problems arises when we fail at connecting the dots between injuries and what can be done do to either increase the injury frequency - or reduce the risk.
I hear the same struggles between younger and older coaches time and time again; "What would you do in this situation?" and "Why do you do this instead of that?" from younger coaches, while older coaches biggest excuse to keep progressing are variations of "I've always done it this way".
I want you to learn from my successes and failures the same way I have. I simply figured out a method that works and want to share that with you. I have taken my knowledge and experience from around the world and put together the Connecting The Dots online course to share it with you to help you grow as a coach - and you get access to that experience in one click.
I'm here to help you - let's get started!

Honest disclaimer
Hi. Kristian here.
I want to make sure you understand this is NOT a quick fix solution and a shortcut to working with team sport athletes or in a team setting. The results I've achieved are not typical, and your results will vary significantly. It will take time. I’ve put in years of effort, and have been fortunate with highly dedicated athletes. There's so many moving parts that goes into good coaching, and this is merely a small piece of the puzzle.
Not all good coaches are working with team sport athletes or in a team setting, and this online course will not guarantee your spot.
Sometimes there might be better ways of doing things, but working with team sports things are rarely optimal, and you will have obstacles to work around. This course will hopefully help you make better decisions with both performance and longevity in mind for your clients, and help you become a better coach.
