Annual Conference on Athletic Development
James in practical session
In the early hours of tomorrow morning I fly to Houston to attend the GAIN conference for 5 days. This will be my 5th visit to Vern Gambetta’s athletic development masterclass.
There is no other conference like it: containing a mixture of practical sessions, lectures, talks and discussions. The diverse range of backgrounds of people includes:
- p.e. teachers
- physiotherapists
- athletic trainers
- athletics coaches
- football coaches
- strength and conditioning coaches
- wrestling coaches
- and me.
This means that any discussion about athletes is benefits from many different perspectives, with all of the people having one goal: getting their athletes better.
The sessions start at 0630 (although me and my roomate Andy Stone start at 0545) and run through until 2200.
This is a chance for me to learn, discuss and share ideas that will translate into practical sessions for all our athletes when I return. It also helps me run the coach education workshops as I get a very detailed look at coaching processes and latest ideas from World Class coaches who are leading their fields.
Watch this space for updates.
Client Testimonials
I feel that training with South West Talent and James Marshall has been the best thing I've done for my basketball career so far. It has greatly improved my overall athleticism which has been a real benefit to me when on court. More importantly, however, the training has enabled me to continue playing whilst suffering from a back injury which has caused me real problems over a number of years. It has made huge improvements more recently and I am confident that I will be in good shape to play this coming season.
