2011 Wishlist!

[ESTI]

Guys I love the Ideas!
Number 2, will you keep us posted on your S&C clinic?
Also I love the idea of a cf test. I had to take the USATF level 1 2 weeks ago, lets just say i got plenty of sleep

Who were presenters?

I would be interesting in seeing hurdles from Ange. Almost a mirror of the sprints with focus on hurdles (fundamentals-techinque, GPP, SPP progressions etc).

CF done specifically for hurdles is something that I have wanted to see as well.

Perhaps some sort of Coaching Level Program, where the only way to Get your Pass is to produce Results, even if you paid, if you fail you don't get the Level. Perhaps with some sort of CF based written exam - So true CF style of coaching is producing the said results.
Eg
Level 1 coach - has produced a 11 - 11.25 runner (male) or Female equivalent time
Level 2 coach - has produced a 10.75-10.99 runner
Level 3 coach - a 10.50 - 10.74 runner
level 4 coach - a 10.25 - 10.49 runner
level 5 coach - 10,00-10.24 runner
Master coach - sub 10

These would also be shown under their Names on the forum.

IMO this would only take CF.com in a direction that would not be beneficial. Every trainer in the world now, it seems, is trying to create their own certification program and I think that it could potentially take away from the site. Also, without Charlie's approval how could any exam be made, justified, etc.

Just my .02 cents

I typically hold an annual Strength and Conditioning conference. I will still do that in 2011 (likely in May).

However, I have this idea that I could hold another workshop where Forum members could meet face to face and discuss training. A number of people could do presentations, with breakout groups to follow. The presentation would be on their use and interpretation of Charlie's concepts. Let me know if there is any interest in this idea.

I love the idea of CF based presenters followed by breakout groups. One major problem with conferences is that there is never a chance for specific discussions to take place, and since there would at least be common agreement on a similar underlying philosophy, these discussions could be of a higher quality.

This is a terrific idea. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

ESTI I will have to call you about the usatf certification. Im trying to remember

All sounds great.

I wish for more money to buy all the juicy products I don't, oh and more time to watch them.

NumberTwo,
Do you have any more information on this event? I saw on James Smith's website that he is tentatively booked for this in May.
I would definitely consider making a trip from the UK for something like this.
Thanks

I agree, this would only benefit those in Metro areas, Universities etc.
What about the High School coach who would never see such speed?

While those who through recruiting, large program etc. has access to runners with natural speed, thus making the differerent levels meaningless.
