The miracle of modern medicine.

In one day for surgery - out the next!!! Charlie's contacts must have helped! My surgeon tells me I can travel so I will be coming to help out with the series of clinics previously advertised.

But folks it will be your last chance to access 55 years of successful experience teaching and coaching the vault - and a philosophy built on that experience - plus training sessions with Petrov, Houvion, Krysinski, Botcharnikov - watching many good US coaches in action -- talking with Bubka and other great athletes like Markov, Chystiakov, Isinbayeva, Grigorieva and observing their training - helping a little on occasions- going to 6 Olympic Games, three with my own athletes, one as a team coach - five world junior champs, with my own athletes - two as Head coach, Two world youth champs with my own athletes. Coached about five hundred South Australian State Champions, close to one hundred national champions in all age groups from under 14 to open! There CHARLIE I have learned from you how to advertise!!

You will have a chance to learn question and challenge - not just from me but the other coaches involved in this venture.

On a sadder note I will definitely not be coming to the USA after this trip - will be just too old and beat up. I will also need regular check ups when I get back.

Two great clinics in Houston! A bit hot at times but lovely kids who worked hard. Pity they can't tell you what they thought of the experience!
