Mentorship typically consists of two people working for the betterment of one.
How about six with the goal to better each other?
In 1972, Eldredge and Gould presented their theory on evolution referred to as punctuated equilibrium. In simple terms, their view is that evolution occurs with periods of rapid change between periods of little or no change.
The goal of this intensive is to create a period such as that. Rapid change.
The When and Where
July 26-29 at IFAST (and Casa de Hartman) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8pm Thursday the 26th (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday July 29th at about noon. When we get hungry, we eat. When we get tired, we sleep.
The Who
Six (6) professionals (It is NOT for students) who:
Are comfortable with contributing ideas, asking, and answering questions.
Have an understanding of foundational movement-based anatomy and exercise/training concepts.
Want to challenge and help others professionals improve.
Understand the value of a coach and seek a learning network of individuals with common concerns, interests, and goals but different backgrounds.
Selfishly, it’s for me. I enjoy what I do, and I enjoy sharing and interacting with bright, motivated people from whom I too can learn.
The What
A fun, open, engaging, and challenging environment
Guided, focused effort over three days
Develop a principles-based approach
Examining a model of human movement from micro to macro
Assessment processes from a passive to a dynamic environment
Cuing, coaching, decision-making, intervention strategies, and programming
Ongoing discussion and conversation over dinner at Casa de Hartman
Enhance and evolve your personal information capture and learning system
Share knowledge as part of an ongoing professional network
Follow-up mentorship to assure ongoing progress

You have to earn your way into the 16%. To do so, we must think differently. Fitness training is young and indecisive. Rehab is stagnating. Strength & Conditioning is being stifled by tradition and confusion. It's time to do the work necessary to improve or join the average.
