Finishing Things Up

Finished up level 3 yesterday with a marathon testing day. We had over 70 coaches go through testing. Counting the couple that took the test early 80 or more took the test. Last week was busy with last minute projects. I had to do last minute proposals for an training facility and the new athletic performance testing program. Plus, the national boxing and karate teams wanted me to write up training programs for them.

Got all my souvenir shopping done, ready to relax for two days and fly home on Monday. Seen enough of malls and restaurants to last me for a while. Planning to visit Totie's house and meet his family tomorrow then leave for the airport from there early Monday morning.

Sports Medicine Forum and First Friday Mass

Friday afternoon there was a Sports Medicine Forum put on by the POC for the coaches and the athletes. All of the sections of the sports medicine group talked about their areas. Coach Jim talked about the sports performance section and I got introduced and got to talk a little. The POC announced the plans for athlete testing and the new training center that I'm designing and making recommendations for.

 Not everyone was excited to be at the forum

and no these pictures were not taken while I was talking!

On the first Friday of every month the POC holds a mass for the coaches and athletes. Then they have a small dinner is served afterwards.

Combined Level 1 & 2 Testing

Friday morning we conducted the testing for the combined level 1 & level 2, some level 2 coaches that missed the original test, coaches that needed to retake level 2 and some coaches that had to take the level 3 test early. In all we had about 50 test takers.
