Many thanks to all who have applied. Application is now closed. Apologies but the number of applications quickly exceeded the typical number from which the 8 attendees are chosen.

Don’t worry. If you don’t make it this round, I’m planning another one soon.

The Intensive XII Returns!!

It’s time to select the next group for The Intensive XII.

Applications are already coming in at a high rate from my mentorship list, so I probably won’t be keeping them open much longer.

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 XII is June 10-13, 2020 at IFAST in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8 pm on Thursday June 10th (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, June 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 other 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 April 27th for The Intensive XII. 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 $699 to attend in addition to your travel expenses. Your food is taken care of.

Applications are now closed.
