OK. Here's my last video (at least until I return home from a family visit in NY). This one's a 5 minute clip from the DVD titled, Penultimate and Takeoff Mechanics in the Long Jump. The video was shot at the HPC ELITETRACK Gold Medal Clinic held at the 2008 Olympic Trials. In this video, legendary coach, Tom Tellez, teaches the mechanics that made Carl Lewis and many others to elite status in t [...]

As promised, here's today's video clip. This one is actually one of my favorite lectures from HPC's recent clinic. In this talk, throws coach Larry Judge discusses ways to maximize competition performances. This lecture is pretty high level and has a wealth of useful information that can be applied across event groups. [...]

As promised here's another lecture clinic video from a coaching great. This one's by none other than Tom Tellez, the former coach of Carl Lewis, Leroy Burrell, and Mike Marsh in addition to many others. In this talk Tom gives some tips for starting block setup and the set position. [...]

Today was my last day at West Point. I turned in my resignation 2 weeks ago. I'd delayed saying something publicly because I wanted to speak or contact all my athletes (which can be quite difficult when you coach at a school that sends many of its kids around the world for internships and military training for much of summer). To answer the most obvious question- 'where are you going?', I'm no [...]

I get a lot of email. A lot. I host my webmail accounts (ET and HPC) on Google hosted mail and thanks to Google's spam blocker only about 1% of the spam seems to actually make it to my inbox. Today however, I received a goodie. A hall of famer if you will. This one was actually submitted to my company website (which explains how it made it past the spam guard). Under normal circumstances I'd jus [...]

Checkout "Putting his best foot forward Kenosha Man eyes Olympics" about Lamont and his quest to make the Olympic team. To support Lamont as he pushes on to the Olympic Trials and beyond please consider donating to his Olympic [...]

HPC is putting together a world class clinic at the Track & Field Olympic Trials in Eugene on July 1, 2008. We are still in the process of finalizing the details but Dan Pfaff, Boo Schexnayder, and Larry Judge have already agreed to speak. See details here and pre-register today. [...]

I rarely come on ET asking for money. I want to keep the site as free as possible. In fact, the only time I can remember doing it before was for a Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief fund. At the time, I was living in Baton Rouge and I saw first hand the destruction and displacement that Katrina and the subsequent flooding caused. Thanks to a handful of ET members close to a thousand dolla [...]

I was recently contacted by Yosef Johnson about some books he's selling from all-time great training mind, Anatoliy Bondarchuk. He asked that I take a look and review some of the material. As a sucker for Russian Training pron I excitedly agreed. I received the book (Transfer of Training in Sports) about a week ago. When I unpackaged the book, my immediate impression was how unassuming it look [...]

I just wanted to pass on that my company has put together a YouTube channel and we will be updating it with new videos 2-4 times a week. We'll be using the channel to show clips from our 600+ video online training inventory, various training mashups, educational lecture / clinic snippets, promotional / viral marketing material, as well as eventually having some training videos of some of the e [...]
