  • Announcement: The Intensive – July 26-29

    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.
