Description

The cost is per athlete. This a four-day running clinic for up to 15 youth athletes at a time. Hours are tentatively 7:30am to 1pm each day. The running clinic is geared for youth athletes of all sports as running is a significant part of every sport. For each athlete that is a paid attendee one parent, guardian, or coach may participate if desired. I can take up to a maximum of five adults so first come, first served.
Athletes should wear whatever running shoes they are comfortable in but there WILL be time spent barefoot. PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN AT LEAST A MILE TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS CAMP.
Examples of what Coach D will discuss and demonstrate are:
– The history of natural running
– The reason natural running is important to health and sports performance
– Species-specific adaptations for natural running

– Natural running technique with progressions
