I'm glad you asked!! The details of our first seminar are too long to list because the information was so good. If you can forward your email address I can send you information on the next IYCA seminar that is happening April 30th in Ohio. The information that is presented is some of the best I've ever seen. Brian Grasso has managed to organize some of the best in the country (maybe the world) to contribute to the IYCA's development. The Chicago seminar was great because of the diversity of the group. I was fortunate enough to talk to some of the best strength coaches in the country that all had different methods of training. I think Brian Grasso is trying to create an atmosphere of diversified education and you see that in the Board of Directors. I think one of the things that make Brian and Bill so effective is that they don't go around saying they are "experts" and everyone should bow before them. The IYCA wants to make sure athletic development is just that...development. Right now in our country our young athletes are being destroyed. (I'm so upset about it that I'm actually writing a book on the topic). I see the IYCA's goal as being an educational organization for parents and coaches to eliminate poor training techniques that can be detrimental to the physical and psychological development of young kids (not just athletes!!).
Bill and Brian can elaborate more on this because they are at the helm of the IYCA. This is what I've seen from my experience with the IYCA and that is why I am so grateful to be a part of it.
