I Pity The Fool…

(I pity the fool that doesn't sign up to Nick and Duncs mentorship programme – urghhh)
OK, I'm sorting out a few bits and pieces before I head down to the UKSEM Conference in London where I'll be delivering two workshops. I'm really looking forward to this conference, it was cracking last year and the line up for 2011 is pretty damn good (no wonder it's Europe's largest sports science and medicine conference).
Anyway, I said last week that I'd finally managed to get Duncan French to fix some dates in his diary so that we could deliver our second mentorship programme.
We ran one back in September 2010 and it went down a storm, so much so that we intended to run another one in 2011 but our schedules went crazy and we just couldn't get three days where both of us would be in Newcastle at the same time. So, we've managed to set a date for 2012.
March 30th – April 1st 2012
(now do you see the link between the date and Mr T's famous catchphrase – I don't just make this stuff up as I go along you know!)
This is going to be the only mentorship programme that we run in 2012 (Duncan is flat out working wonders with Newcastle United and I'll be AWOL between May-August preparing the GB Basketball team for the Olynmpics).
We can’t accept applications for the Spring programme after the 15th January 2012 and the next programme won’t run until 2013, so check out what we are going to cover in March and get yourself up to Newcastle for 3-days of hands on learning, backed up with solid theories and principles.You may even get time to have a night oot on the toon!
If you are thinking about booking on then follow this link for full details of the programme. If you have any questions you can fire them over to me on this e-mail address info@nickgrantham.com
>>>Performance Training Mentorship Programme<<<
I'm not going to do some long sales page – not my style. Bottom line is that if you want to learn directly from two coaches that are out there delivering on a day to day basis rather than a here today gone tomorrow internet guru you'll sign up! Simple.
Here's what the 2010 intake thought of the 3-days.
You'll all know my credentials but if you want to find out more about Duncan check out his website www.duncanfrench.com where you can check out his background and see that he is the real deal!

Hi Jonny,
Send an e-mail to nick@smartfitness.org.uk with a CV and brief paragraph (500 words max) about why you should be accepted onto the mentorship. Once we’ve reviewed the applications we will be in touch.
All the best.

If you are thinking of doing this mentorship, don't waste your time think about it anymore – SIGN UP. I can categorically say that, having spent time with Nick and Dunc in 2010, this mentorship hugely improved me as a trainer and coach. As Nick is fond of saying, it was a lightbulb moment for me and has altered the way I prepare my athletes and PT clients by taking a more complete, cerebral, approach to things. I'm not one for switching between one fad and the next and strongly believe in my central training philosophy – taking whats useful and discarding the rest, but Nick and Dunc are completely on the money and going to see them will accelerate your development and open your eyes to loads of other good stuff that's out there. They are both great teachers and great people so learning from them is both easy and highly enjoyable.
In summary, if I could only do one educational thing next year – this would be it! Just beware of Duncan's 'interesting' dance moves if you end up on the Toon one night!
P.S. I haven't been asked (or paid) to write this – I genuinely want these 2 guys to do well and I'm passionate about improving the level of S+C coaching in this country!

I can vouch for the not paying Chris thing!!!!
Kind words Chris and I’m really pleased that Dunc and I managed to make such an impact.
