Application to The Intensive XVI is now closed.
Happy 2022! It’s time for The Intensive XVI!
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 XVI is March 10-13, 2022 at IFAST in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 6 pm on Thursday March 10th with dinner at 6:00 at my favorite Mexican restaurant. We go until Sunday, March 13th 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 January 21st for The Intensive XVI. 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.
