Sounds great. I’m so glad I only live an hour and a half away too. Why don’t you be one of the speakers Mike? I’m sure many coaches and athletes would want to listen, me being one of them.

Yep. We’ll definitely be videotaping using a similar HQ format to what was used at or baseball clinics (see youtube for examples). We’re currently finalizing plans for the clinic. Some things are going to have to change (date, possibly location) due to some conflicts with our work with / for USATF.

Mike-

Any finalization on date and videoing opportunities for this event? If you have mentioned it somewhere on ET, I apologize for not seeing it.

Thanks

I hadn’t posted anything yet as were in talks to be an addon clinic to the Super Clinic that they are putting on. This will necessitate us moving the clinic back one day. All other info should stay the same. I’ll post again when things are more definitive.

Looks like we’re staying on the same day and becoming a Level 3/4 ‘clinic-within-a-clinic’ at the USATF Olympic Trials Super Clinic. The best part is that it will be FREE to all attendees. All you have to do is have USATF membership and you can attend. If you don’t have USATF membership you can buy it at the door for $35. The Super Clinic will have 8 rooms. Seven of the rooms will provide Level 1/2 type information in 70 minute sessions. Each of those rooms will be dedicated to a specific event area. The HPC “Gold Medal” Room will be the eighth room and we will be featuring the above mentioned speakers along with myself and a couple others where we will be providing sessions with more in-depth discussion suitable for advanced coaches and athletes.

Update: Boo is out (due to Olympic staff duties) but Tellez is in.

The speaker lineup is now: Tom Tellez (2 talks- former coach of SMTC); Larry Judge (elite throws coach); Dave Kerin (HJ guru extraordinare); Will Wu (HPC skill acquisition specialist); Dan Pfaff; and me (conference slug).

Speaker topics to follow shortly.

Is this going on at the same time as the other (USATF) presentations (same day, same time, etc)?

[Mike Young]

Mike Young on May 30, 2008 at 7:06 pm #70044

Same day, same place, same cost and the overall clinic takes place at the same time but the sessions are 5 minutes shorter with 10 less minutes between them so we could fit all our sessions in. We’re essentially a clinic within a clinic. There will be 8 rooms. 7 of them will be event specific and ours will be a more generic Level 3/4 type room.

And these will be filmed and available to purchase for those of us who are currently strapped and who’s school won’t pay to attend?

Mike Young on May 30, 2008 at 7:25 pm #70046

It will be taped and produced in DVD format.

See the attached file for details on speakers, topics, and times. Remember this clinic is free to all USATF members and if you’re not a member it only costs the $30 to get a membership. If you sign up for the clinic and intend to come to our section make sure you select our section as space may be limited. Sign up can be done HERE.[/url]

The full clinic will be on dvd, even the gold medal part? I wasn’t able to scrape up enough money to fly out so I’m going to have to buy the dvd.

[Mike Young]

Mike Young on June 4, 2008 at 8:24 pm #70135

I can’t really speak for USATF other than to say I know they intend to release a DVD for their portion of the clinic. What I can say is that we are handling all aspects of our part of the clinic including DVD production. The DVD of the ELITETRACK Gold Medal Clinic should be available within months of the clinic.

The clinic went great today. I was very pleased with the presentations and the quality of information. The DVD quality should be quite good as it was actually held in a theater with good acoustics and backdrop.
