For anyone interested, the tests yesterday showed that I am clear of cancer for the present, more tests in 6 months. This means that I hope to be on the West coast of the US from late June into July working with coaches of the caliber of Rick Baggett, Kevin Magula and hopefully Bubba Sparks. There is an open invitation for anyone to attend – you never know - you might learn something!


GREAT NEWS!!! I'm so glad to hear that!

Altius,

Good to hear.

Did you ever meet a guy named Brian Phillipini in Reno? He was from there and my college roomate and I know he was friends with Steve.

I've got my own health issues and wouldn't wish for anything but good health for anyone.

Live Long and Well Sir
Will

But I also have a question...

How long did it take Petrov to both come up with an implement his system to full results?

I mean I take it you want to see my vaulters and evaluate the "revolution". It ain't done yet. And it ain't even a "revolution". I'm not teaching them to vault like Dossevi or even Lavillenie. Either too hard, too dangerous, or both...

When I'm working with them I'm getting on average about a 1' gain per month. Is that good or bad? Somewhere that curve will top out. Where I don't know...

What do you want to see in criteria? Would it even matter? Or, why would I want to show you an unfinished vaulter I know has problems?

Plus, I have to tear down and rebuild almost all of them in some way. You just get a bit forced into the schedule at this level. At one point I had a two week period where because of weather and meets we didn't get a practice in with the jr high and they devolved fast...

It's a long list of problems, brother. I get what I get. Some of these kids are ducks, and others mules...
And I made mistakes...
