Been here since last Sunday
teaching with my colleague Ed Ryan ATC, formerly head of Sports Medicine at
USOC. Have not posted much, just no time. Did a 3.5 workshop with soccer coaches;
a half day off and yesterday started 3.5 days with rugby coaches. Very
knowledgeable and well educated coaches who are very open and hungry for
knowledge. We have had some great interchanges of ideas. I hope our work has a
positive long-term impact on sport and rehabilitation from sport injuries in
T&T. These people are wonderful. Also working with a track athlete on
getting him back to training. We do that at the end of the day after the
workshops. Makes for long days, but very satisfying. The other day on the track
at Hasely Crawford stadium reminded of UC Irvine circa 1984 with all the talent
out there. This young 400-meter hurdler with proper guidance could be the best
ever. Makes me think of Carol Dwecks "Mindset" though, praise the effort not the result to insure growth. I do hope he gets that guidance. Amazing to see the kind of talent this
small country has.
