Thought I'd stick my head in here... we'll see if it remains attached to my neck.
Just thought I'd clarify... since we're talking about me.
1. Adarq - That photo ofme is not shopped but that one of the nicest comments I've received.
2. Jack - Thanks for your kind words even if we disagree on some points I appreciate the your openness, you've always been fair to me. I really appreciate you defending me man... really.
3. I'm constantly trying to get affiliates not to do crazy stuff. It's hard to keep it under raps but if there is someone who is particularly annoying let me know, I can have the "authorities" contact them or even cut them off. I don't like the spam, it does me no good... sure maybe a couple sales, but it much worse for reputation etc... not a fan.
4. Adam L. Is awesome, and a good friend of mine. But as far as I know I posted videos about form before anyone I know did. I learned that stuff in high school and college track and field. Not taking away from Adam, his stuff is great, and he is a very experienced high jumper.. but I definitely didn't steal it form him.
Regardless as jack is mentioning we all learned stuff from someone... many of the jumping form concepts I have, I came up with alone, but many others were taught to me by someone along the way.
Penultimate step for basketball or any sport is different animal then track and field... I was a jumper in high school and college. That's another conversation though.
On a last thought... we do one one one and group coaching sessions multiple times a week for personal programming. It's a huge part of our system... the one one one interaction.
While we might disagree on some issues I think we can understand what those points are... and if I'm wrong... I hope to have the guts to admit it... sure better then persevering in error.
In the end I'm just a guy like you guys... I live training, am obsessed with it, and love making my living sharing it.
I come up with a lot (IMHO
of my own stuff, and I also like to read and learn from everyone else in the industry...
If anyone is interested I have a free ebook about jumping form, a lot of my own ideas, and now I'm starting to see them come out in other places.. I really don't care though.. unless I'm accused of stealing what is my original work (which has also happened).
