Canova & Vigil Speaking in the US in January!

Canova may the most thoughtful coach I've ever read. One question? Has he ever written a book?

Yeah Baby!

And none of them are good enough to be coaching instructors for USATF :(

Renato for sure is worth the plane trip to the east coast.

This looks awesome and the price is not bad at all.

Dang, this entire thing of hummus is only 400 calories. Now I need to find more food...

I wish they would webcast it or sell a podcast - I'd pay $10 to have it.

why hasn't anyone raised the doping issue?

We are on LR after all!!!!

I'm sure a $10 dollar podcast covers the fee Canova charges plus his travel. Not to mention the other cast of characters. I'm in. I missed out on Lydiard in North Carolina and have regretted it since.

I'll be in Charlotte!

Has anyone heard Bill Aris speak? Is he anything like Joe Newton?

He might repeat his famous quotation, "How high is the sun!??"

Vigil helped develop the curriculum and I thought he taught some courses. At his age, traveling is a challenge.

Also Vigil is getting honored with a statue at Adams State in a couple of weeks. I saw a pic of the statue; very nice.

Well deserved!

Yes, Joe used to teach some courses, and he used to go to the USATF Las Vegas summit and present. But I fear that Dr. Vigil, like Boo and Mike Young, aren't Crawford-certified.

Unless Joe has lost some of his wit in the last couple of years, he's worth the trip by himself. And if Canova and Vigil don't result in an overflow crowd of coaches, there's something wrong.

Vigil is actually back on board with USATF coaching ed now

Vigil was there two years ago and there were plenty of seats available. Didn't even need Mahon, Will Freeman, or Danny Green to be worth the $$$$.

But if coaches don't show up to see Canova there's something seriously wrong. We'll see.

I'm not going to miss this one! It's possible I'll never see Vigil or Renato again

Attended Level II in Colorado Springs in December 1988. Vigil was a large part of the week we spent there. Singularly the most motivating person I have ever run across. Any clinic he is part of, regardless of any other presenters, is well worth the visit. Add in Canova ... could be legendary.
