    Update: Application for The Intensive XVII is now CLOSED.

    Application to The Intensive XVII is now CLOSED.

    It’s time for The Intensive XVII!

    Only 8 professionals will be selected from the application process. Without question, keeping it small maximizes the benefits to the attendees, so I anticipate it being difficult to get it down to 8 attendees if I get many more. I want to give those not on the list a shot.

    Please give thought to your answers on the application.

    Several attendees have applied multiple times. Not everyone is ready right away. Sometimes you need to struggle, learn, and grow before you get to attend. It’s not about your resumé. It’s about being a thinker.

    The When and Where

    The Intensive XVII is May 19-22, 2022 at IFAST in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 6 pm on Thursday May 19th with dinner at 6:00 at my favorite Mexican restaurant. We go until Sunday, May 22th at about noon. When we get hungry, we eat. When we get tired, we sleep.

    The Who

    Up to eight (8) professionals (It is NOT for students) who:

    Are comfortable with sitting in a tiny room with others, contributing ideas, asking, and answering questions.

    Have an understanding of foundational movement-based anatomy and exercise/training concepts.

    Want to challenge and help other 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 ideas 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 in the exclusive Facebook group with 80+ previous attendees of The Intensive to assure ongoing progress

    Train at IFAST

    The eight individuals will be selected via the application process as quickly as possible. Selected attendees will be notified of acceptance by March 11th for The Intensive XVII. If you are not notified by that date, you have not been selected. We get many great applications but we must limit attendance to provide the best possible experience.

    How Much?

    It is $799 to attend in addition to your travel expenses. Your food is taken care of.

    Application is now closed.
