Yep, AT&FCA conference was terrific.
Tom Tellez was the stand out. Very good presenter of basic common sense sprinting. Incredibly fit for his age, demonstrating the technique and the nice fluid action one hopes to achieve.
The speedball presentation was in two halves. Stuart Dempster spoke of the background of it and gave a brief talk about the concept and the effects it has on the body. He said the obvious - the only reason there’s no genuine scientific evidence is because no-one has gone to the trouble of actually testing it. BUT he spoke of the anecdotal evidence including testaments from Allan Wells and Frank Dick.
The second half was basically me giving an instruction on it and discussing my own experiences both as an athlete and a coach in a question & answer format.
I think (at least hope) Stuart was happy for me to answer the questions!
