Outstanding first two day here at Rice University in Houston Texas. Some great teaching resulting in an atmosphere of learning and sharing. Outstanding presentations yesterday by Ed Thomas on historical background and evolution to our current state of physical ecucatios. Tracy (AKA Ironmaven) on developing lower extremity strength with some case studies of the athletes she works with and the the afternoon was Bill Knowles presenting on Return to Competition Strategies. Great information, much food for thought. Looking forward to today with Jim Radcliffe from University of Oregon and Randy Ballard from Univesity of Illinois.
