I\\\'m not sure where the checkbox for \\\"subscribe to these comments by email\\\" went. So — I added the Intense Debate plug-in. It has that feature. But may end up too boggy to keep. For all POSTS click the orange RSS box in the right hand navigation.

John Geddert jumps to mind as a coach who given the same athlete, the same amount of training time, will get a better result than almost any other coach.

You two girls are fantastic. We should do a profile magazine article on the both of you. Email me if you are interested, after checking with your sister. RickMcCharles@gmail.com ...

Me too, Geoffrey. Absolutely in the learning stages of forward twisting. ... putting it on Floor I only do pike open twist drills with kids that are twisting too early, though.

I found it did not work for most. In a perfect world, with great kids, this is a super technicque. In the real world, with real kids, the problem long term with that skill is that kids twist TOO EARLY. All my drills emphasize getting into the arched position as quickly as possible. Twisting as late as possible. I find that if I do my drills, the skill will eventually end up as discussed in the drill. It's easy to get kids to twist earlier. It's easy to get them to take off in a more hollow position, ... if you train a lot of arched layouts first. There are many roads to arrive at the same place.

I see the spam in my RSS reader. But I've never watched to see how quickly it disappears. Perhaps there is no spam filter for forum software as good as exists for email (Gmail, for example) or blogs.

But I agree that the process will be helpful overall for the long term development of Brazil and all of South America. Chicago was the best bid. But Rio was second best. And close.
