The mission is to define the field of Athletic Development by educating professionals in foundational principles and methodology as applied to coaching, physical education and rehabilitation.
GAIN Apprentorship = Apprenticeship + Mentorship, combines the features of both into a unique interactive blend of theory and practice in a five-day residential coaching school format. This is an opportunity to observe, question, and explore the application of the Gambetta Method - Systematic Sport Development Model of training, teaching and injury rehabilitation.
The coaching school is just the beginning. To foster continued growth and interaction the graduates of the program can continue to participate via the secure web site, and the coaching school for the duration of their careers if they so choose.
The 2010 school will be June 18 - June 23 in Sunrise, Florida at the Holiday Inn KICS International Sport Complex.
