There is a video/manual at the perform better site. I hope it’s okay to link something commercial to help out a poster and Al, potentially. I certainly do not work for perform better/MF athletic.
I read a handout from a presentation AV, Gattone and Helland (his then assistants with the Bulls) did at the 98 or 99 NSCA. It was one of the most comprehensive summaries on how to train for certain physical capacities though I don’t know if it’s available anywhere now.
Number Two used to sell a seminar he hosted with CF and AV. Is best dvd I have on training information. AV is on fire the entire presentation. Its very long, maybe 5 hours?? Worth th emoney. Not usre th elink for it.
Here’s some from the NSCA site - you’ll need to be a member to get the .pdf’s, though…
PROGRAM DESIGN: Training components for basketball 1988
Periodization of Strength Training For Professional Football 1982
PROGRAM DESIGN: Game day inseason training for the Chicago Bulls 1989
The Rationale for Field Testing 1983
A Theoretical Approach To Planning a Football Season 1982
They are all in the NSCA’s Strength & Conditioning Journal…
Al consistently does workshops and talks for Perform Better. He seems to be all over the country with them. I’d check their site to see if they have any resources from his work with them.
I have some video footage from workshops he’s done for me, but have never considered putting them on DVD. In most cases, he did 6-12 hours of presenting and practical work. It would take some time to edit it down to something that could be used for a DVD series. I will speak with Al to see what he wants to do with the footage.
The other DVD I had was simple left-over DVD’s I had from when I produced raw DVD footage of a Panel workshop with Charlie, Al and others. I promised attendees that I would provide them all with DVD’s of the conference if they attended. I had a few left over and sold them off to cover my expenses for the production of them. It would make a good product, but would take some time to edit down to maintain good video quality.
They get the NSCA journal at the university library where I did my graduate work (which I could literally walk to from my job). I can photocopy them there.
For those who may not know - Al Vermeil will be the “featured” speaker at the NSCA conference in Orlando this January (2010). If I get any materials, I’ll do my best to share!
I explored the net few months ago and i found a document which contains only two pages but sound very interesting. I think that it is some kind of unpublished or unfinished book.

"Tim Grover, Jordan’s personal fitness trainer for seven years, would be the architect.
“I’ve never seen him work harder than he did last summer,” said Grover. “The very next day after the Bulls were eliminated, Michael started working out. It was the earliest I have ever seen him start. I used to have to schedule his workouts during spare time away from a golf game. But for the first time, golf took a set back.”
