  • Announcement: The Intensive VII

    Announcement: The Intensive VII

    Are you ready for round VII?

    It’s the 1 year anniversary of The Intensive.

    Each one is unique as the curriculum is driven by the attendees.

    Only 8 professionals will be selected from the application process. Without question, keeping it small maximizes the benefits to the attendees

    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

    August 22-25 at IFAST (and Casa de Hartman) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8 pm on Thursday the 22nd (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, August 25th 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 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 to assure ongoing progress

    Train at IFAST

    The eight individuals will be selected via the application process as quickly as possible. Attendees will be notified by July 17th.

    How Much?

    It is $699 to attend in addition to your travel expenses. Your food is taken care of.

  • Announcement: The Intensive V

    Announcement: The Intensive V

    We just wrapped The Intensive IV. Are you ready for round V?

    The first four Intensives were outstanding experiences. Each was unique as the curriculum is driven by the attendees.

    As always, we are keeping this small to maximize the interactivity. Only 8 professionals will be selected from the application process.

    If you applied to The Intensive I-IV before and would like to attend, please fill out a new application. One attendee from The Intensive IV had applied for the third time and got in.

    The When and Where

  • Announcement:  The Intensive III

    Announcement: The Intensive III

    Are you ready for round III?

    The first two Intensives were outstanding experiences. Each was unique as the curriculum is driven by the attendees.

    Experience has shown that we need to make this bigger but not much bigger. It is imperative to keep this as small as possible to keep the interaction going and to make it dynamic and effective atmosphere. This means that instead of 6 attendees, I’m upping it to as many as 8 (or less depending on the quality of applications).

    If you applied to either Intensive before and would like to attend, please fill out a new application.

    The When and Where

    November 15-18 at IFAST (and Casa de Hartman) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8pm on Thursday the 15th (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, November 18th at about noon. When we get hungry, we eat. When we get tired, we sleep.

    It’s The Intensive Week!

    I’ve been busy behind the scenes getting things ready for The Intensive.

    Be sure to get signed up for the Mentorship mailing list below to assure that you don’t miss your opportunity for the next one and also get information for the ongoing mentorship opportunities.

    In the video below, I talk a little about how you’ll know when you’re accurate with your assessment testing.

    Is inter-rater reliability of a test important?
