I had the opportunity to attend a fantastic seminar on the weekend at the Richmond Olympic Speed Skating Oval. It is a world class facility and I would recommend stopping by and checking it out. http://richmondoval.ca/default.htm
The seminar was put on by Mark Verstegen the founder of Athletes Performance http://www.athletesperformance.com/ , they are the premier athlete training facility in the United States. The seminar was half lecture and half practical. They covered movement prep and core activation (they call it Pillar Strength instead of core strength). They also covered weighttraining focusing on athletic power and speed development. Notably, Athletes Performance is highly focused on recovery (nutrition, ART, hydro-therapy etc.). It was very informative.
It was an amazing facility and great presenters. I came out with some great new exercises that my clients are enjoying and some new information on athletic power and speed development. Looking forward to the next continuing education moment.
