This is the introduction to my presentation at the Long
Beach Perform Better event next month.
This presentation will be
different. It may not be what you expect. It will not be about the past. This
will not be a nostalgia trip or rants from an old man about the good old days.
Rather I will look back to gain a perspective, a historical context, to move
forward with clarity and purpose. It will be about learning lessons from the
past and the present to build a better future. It will be about what I know and
what I do not know. It will be about successes and failures and what I have
learned from both. There will be very little on drills and exercises, rather it
will be a story, a narrative of searching for a better way, of developing a system
and refining a method to build and rebuild a complete athlete. This will be
about change – Why change, how to manage change, what to change, how to change
and how to lead and innovate. This will be about my passion – coaching. A passion
for excellence, no BS, no hype just good old fashioned teaching and training to
guide people to be the best they can be. I hope you enjoy and learn from the
presentation as much I have on this journey.

…true, but as I brought up at GAIN ’10; if you look around at what’s being marketed, everything old is repackaged as new (even though research may no longer support it). What IS new about old is the technology has finally caught up to support it, measure, and quantify it.
