It’s time for round XII!
The Intensive XI group is already at work on their prep.
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 April 16-19, 2020 at IFAST in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8 pm on Thursday April 16th (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, April 19th 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. Selected attendees will be notified of acceptance by March 1st 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.
Application for The Intensive XII is now closed.

You have to earn your way into the 16%. To do so, we must think differently. Fitness training is young and indecisive. Rehab is stagnating. Strength & Conditioning is being stifled by tradition and confusion. It's time to do the work necessary to improve or join the average.
