Dear Parents and Campers,
We hope you will consider attending our Track & Field / Cross Country Summer Camp, scheduled for June 29-July 2, 2003.
In recognizing the limitations of one-week “training camps”; our camps are structured as “learning camps”,where we stress event technique & training principles as guidelines to career improvement and future success. Of course, we do encourage “learn-by-doing” methods and will provide a quality training effect during the time you spend on our campus.
Our instruction will cover a wide range of topics essential to all athletes aspiring to maximize their potential. We’ll focus on preparatory training, event technique with video analysis, tactics & competitive strategy, mental training, injury prevention,& supplemental training information.
We’re confident that every camper will leave a more assured, confident athlete having benefited from expert instruction in a fun learning environment.
We look forward to working with each athlete this summer!
Sincerely,
John Kenneson, UK Assistant Coach& Camp Director
