EXF-Perform Better Seminar Coming Soon…
ByI took a call from Charles Burch from EXF-Peform Better a couple of weeks ago to tell me that he’s secured three fantastic overseas speakers for the EXF-Perform Better two day summit in April in London…oh…did I forget to mention that! Yes, the turn around time on this one is pretty tight but it’s one workshop that you don’t want to miss. Check out who’s going to be there:

They’ve secured three speakers from the US. Robert dos Remedios will be back in the UK for only the second time and he’s got some terrific sessions lined up. Aaron Moser will be over representing Peform Better (the go to people for all things related to functional training and rehabilitation in the US) and Chad Skrederstu who runs Snow, Sand, Street.
Not to be outdone, the UK are represented by some serious S&C coaches including Duncan French, Neil Parsley, and yours truely! Duncan is a familiar name to regulars on the site and helped developed the P2P Olympic Movement Preparation DVD and training manual with me. Neil works for the English Institute of Sport whipping the countries best combat athletes into shape whilst spending every other waking hour smashing clients at the Underground Training Station.
I think you’ll agree that the team at EXF have pulled together a great line up. Here’s a sneak peak of the topics that will be covered over the two days:

Nick Grantham – Prepare 2 Perform
The Warm-Up is possibly one of the most misunderstood and underutilised aspects of training by coaches and trainers. Sitting on a bike or jogging laps is just not acceptable.

This presentation will focus on a practical “how to” approach to things like foam rolling, stretching and mobility work, pre-activation activities with emphasis on systems that will work for personal trainers, strength coaches and sport coaches.
