Nate. when doing a speed camp you have to change your philosophy a little because you are not able to get as much hands on attention. You want to teach quality techniques but you don't have the time to detail it as much for obvious reason. Just make it a good show when you do a clinic. The key to clinics or camps is to know why you are doing them. You may be trying to drive people to your facility or to improve their performance- so your information will change. Leo, jumping is about teaching proper landing technique first. then teach the extension phase. I am a low rep high intensity jump coach. I don't believe in a lot of reps. i want my athletes to be able to walk normal when they are older. too much jumping can be tough. Plus figure they are already jumping and running lots in sports and just being a kid. Thank you.

When I talk to other coaches and trainers and they demonstrate a new drill or plays I always ask the question WHY? That is what I like about Lee's products. It answers most of the why's. Thank you for that, Lee. Francois South Africa Just want to agree. When I talk to other coaches and trainers and they demonstrate a new drill or plays I always ask the question WHY?

The Kiss Approach- (keep it simple stupid). I have been lucky to have worked with you a couple times and the one thing that has worked over and over has been the piece of advice you gave me when working with my son (13yr) or my young athletes. Work on the Form. I really didn't get it when you told me this. I started a Speed, Agility and Conditioning Class about 6 months ago for Middle School Athletes and sure enough the one thing that really works - stressing Form! Always stressing Form - it works! THANKS for you wonderful, simple and truthful advice. leo ps- if you could offer a kiss approach on vertical leap improvement it would be greatly appreciated!

I think we could spend a lot more time just teaching the basics of movement and technique. I guess it comes down to learning how to do something right at first, and being able to repeat it over and over. It makes for a more complete athlete. John I couldn’t agree with you more.

I am working daily to operate from this perspective, and to ensure that the coaches who work with me do the same. What are your thoughts on how one does this in a camp where the instructor to coach ration is 25:1? In health, Nate Lee,
