Each year the head exercise physiologist with the USOC, Randy Wilbur puts on this altitude symposium & it is a winner. Randy has helped me hugely in my years as a support coach to US athletes both in track & field & triathlon. His knowledge, skill, grace under pressure, absolute professionalism & high integrity sets a benchmark for my experience of US Olympic endeavors. In short - he really is da man! Then just take a look at the roster of presenters & their topics! I have corresponded with & met John Hellemans who has been a mainstay in the phenomenal triathlon program in New Zealand - if you just spent 5 minutes listening to him you'd be a better coach & athlete for it. Dr. Jim Stray-Gundersen's writings & insight into our sport, while pure science are miraculous in their practical implications - another cannot-miss speaker. The work Coach Terrence Mahon has done up at Mammoth Lakes with the likes of Ryan Hall, bringing US distance running into the upper echelons of the sport is a huge accomplishment - his insights will be invaluable. Coach Dave Jarrett has taken a sport that the US had absolutely no international cudos in, Nordic combined, to the very top - you'll enjoy his passion, no-nonsense, let's-do-the-work approach. He knows how to get a program onto the fast track. The other speakers are equally qualified to inspire you & get your coaching to the next level. I'm going & hope to see you there.
