Dear GAINers,<\/p>\n
2 weeks post GAIN X and I have just retuned from visiting a school in the UK, Wellington School in Somerset, where I met the Director of Sport (Athletic Director in US schools) and we discussed all things coaching and Long-term Athlete Development.<\/p>\n In true GAIN style I need to share the experience with you…\u00a0 but I need time to catch my breath and digest the experience, and the information we discussed to give it justice. It was like a mini-GAIN experience!<\/p>\n Having witnessed Matin Bingisser’s presentation at GAIN X and the Pyramid that Defines General Preparatory Exercises (GPE), Specific Preparatory Exercises (SPE), Specific Development Exercises (SDE), Competitive Exercise (CE), then the Event in his Planning Process I have just seen the same concept applied to Fast Bowling in Cricket, which then has clarified things for me in my own rugby coaching and helped to put my thoughts\/ideas into a clearer System.<\/p>\n Steffan Jones is the guy I spent the day with, a former professional Rugby Union and Cricket player in the UK, and he’s applying Frans Bosch’s concepts with Cricket Fast Bowlers with great success. He’s using a variety of methods, exercises and pieces of equipment and I know he communicates and shares things with Frans Bosch directly.<\/p>\n<\/a>
