D1 Training Honors Outstanding Coaches and Franchisees at Annual D1 Coach Summit

Author: D1

D1 Training was proud to honor individual coaches and facility teams at this year’s D1 Training Coach Summit, a two-day event held in New Orleans. The popular event brings together world-class coaches and staff for enrichment, on-field training, and D1 Training community.

The Annual Coaching Awards represent the excellence and dedication of D1 Training coaches systemwide. These awards highlight those who exemplify the core values of D1 Training, and showcase their commitment to integrity, professionalism, hard work, and overall outstanding coaching.

Being able to honor those coaches around the country for their exceptional ability to serve clients in the highest capacity and see firsthand the constant hunger for continuous improvement is remarkable,” said Chad Barribeau, D1 Training Director of Corporate Stores and one of the presenters of the evening. “It’s what makes this franchise truly special. Attending this event is the definition of iron sharpens iron.”

In addition to the Annual Coaching Awards, D1 Training also honored individuals across the D1 Nation for their outstanding performance and commitment to the 28 Day Playbook Mastery challenge. This was an online curriculum created by the home office Operations team to sharpen performance systemwide.

Austin Clark is the VP of Operations for D1 Training and says the ops team was blown away by the number of participants and overall enthusiasm for the challenge. "The 28 Day Playbook Mastery challenge exemplified the principle of 'iron sharpens iron.' Our facilities collaborated, coached each other, competed hard, and united around the common goal of mastering the D1 playbook so they could best serve their athletes moving forward,” he said. “The challenge not only improved facility performance but also laid the foundation for a stronger community among our franchise locations. I couldn’t be more excited about the growth we saw during the challenge and the opportunity to carry this momentum forward!”

Carly Normandeau from home office support, said it was the interaction with participants that made the difference.

“I personally loved being able to get to know the owners, GMs, and coaches involved on the calls,” said Normandeau. “Hearing from them directly and seeing everyone’s faces definitely built a strong community!” The challenge ended at Coach Summit, where the awards were given at a second ceremony aside from the other awards.
