7/30/2009 - 8/2/2009

Intended Audience: Coaches, Medical Professionals, Parents

We at the RDRBI strongly believe that the ultimate learning environment requires a combination of hands-on participation, classroom presentations and round-table discussions. Over the four days, the attendees will have an opportunity to experience first hand fitness on the field, how pitchers should play catch, drills used by the RDRBI to support the NPA mechanics pitching model. There will also be a "real-life" evaluation as each attendee will be asked to critique a pitcher throwing a bullpen while the RDRBI Coaching Staff observes.

Guest speakers will address the four legs of the "performance table" - mechanics, fitness, nutrition, and mental / emotional - all of which are required for peak performance from the athlete and the coach.

There will be presentations from various professionals associated with the NPA. The faculty is a Who’s Who in their respective fields with presentations to match! Some of the speakers and topics include: pitching mechanics, coaching, parenting, conditioning and more.

Lastly, an important part of the certification includes the round table discussions. We encourage each attendee to ask questions and seek answers until they are satisfied and to lift up current issues. The purpose of the round-table discussions is two-fold, it not only allows each attendee to ask specific questions they may want answers to but it also helps us, the NPA, to continue to grow and improve and better meet the needs of the industry professionals.

Schedule:
Day 1: Evening presentation at 6:00pm
Day 2: Morning field session, afternoon classroom session
Day 3: Morning field session, afternoon classroom session
Day 4: Morning classroom session
