Kai,

I am always in Spokane WA the first Sunday of May for the Bloomsday 12k road race and to visit family so these clinics aren't timed very well for me. I looked at the itineraries and they looked interesting – especially the Damien Farrow presentation. I have the book he edited (Developing Sport Expertise) so make sure you take good notes and share them with us afterwards!

I am going to try to attend a TGfU conference instead. This year it is north of London England but due to London hosting the summer Olympics, several of my friends and colleagues have advised me against attending (security, etc); so I am instead looking to the next one which will be in New Zealand in 2014. (This also gives me a reason to visit my friend in NZ, a strength and conditioning coach for the All Blacks rugby team.) This year's event would be awesome as I think the 'founding fathers" of TGfU will be in attendance and perhaps interacting with delegates (Bunker and Thorpe).
