Testimonials From Coaches, Athletes and Parents
"We call him 'Coach' . . . Dan has the strength of character required of a person who is dedicated to effectively teach, mold and motivate the whole child/athlete. He is a wonder at juggling events, is very organized and has kept communication with both athletes and families a high priority while cutting out dead wood, applying discipline and earning the respect of those who work with him. Our family has enjoyed knowing and working with Dan and his dedication has helped our daughters reach their potential as young women and athletes."
- Betsy and Phil Sustad (Kingston, WA)
"Coach Weedin taught character, compassion, courage, determination, discipline, pride and teamwork to his teams. He did so by modeling a philosophy from which we can all benefit today as we strive to model the change we want to see in the world and leave a positive legacy for the youth with whom we work. Just as Dan was able to lay a foundation for his athletes while coaching at North Kitsap High School, Dan Weedin has a knack of communicating with educators, parents, student/athletes and others in an easy non-threatening and positive style."
- Al Gleich, Dan's former Athletic Director at North Kitsap HS (Bremerton, WA)
"The practices that Coach Dan Weedin ran can be categorized at a higher level than that of any other that I have ever experienced. All of the preparations that we had during pre-season, pre-practice and pre-game were beneficial in the sense that we enjoyed the sport of basketball while learning important life lessons. Basketball became the vehicle to our development and maturity as unique individuals."
- Brenda Stice, former player (Seattle, WA)
"As parents of a basketball player coached by Dan, we could not help but be impressed by his organizational and motivational skills. The daily practice plan was both informative and inspirational. A creative fundraising plan prior to and during the season with constant communication was a standard. When the end of season banquet was held, his talks were positive, heartwarming and hilarious. We would recommend his services to our family and friends."
- Teresa and Bob Case (Poulsbo, WA)
"The kids Dan has coached will be better citizens by having him as part of their lives."
- Jerry Parrish, Executive Secretary of the WA State Coaches Association and football coach of over 40 years
"I feel the years I played have changed me for the better and Coach Dan had a significant role in this change. I have grown as an individual and some of that is attribution to how he mentored me on and off the court."
- Aleene Lydick, former player
"Half of competitive basketball is learning the skills and knowing the game. The other half is finding opportunities to test those skills against teams who can PLAY. Tournaments, camps, select leagues... these have all become a huge part of the sport. And it takes a lot of organization and motivation to fund raise and bring a team together to be able to participate in such activities. Coach Dan organized these things for my team and made them happen."
- Katie Swanlund, former player (Seattle, WA)
