IN RESPONSE TO NUMEROUS REQUESTS - I will be selling videos at clinics and if they are purchased at the clinic they will sell for $10 off regular price. However, since I am limited in the number of videos I can carry with me, I may run out, in which case I will still sell "rain checks" at the clinic price and ship the videos on my return home. (The clinic prices apply only at the clinic to people who are registered.)

Q. Do you have an agenda of topics to be covered?

A. No. Audiences, I have found, can vary greatly, and so can what they want, and I need to be able to respond to the needs and wishes of each particular group of coaches.

So I don't work with a formal agenda. To me, that would mean a promise to cover the things I put on there, and I don't want to be in a position where I don't keep a promise. I work off a long list of things that I am prepared to cover, but there simply isn't time in a one-day clinic to cover them all.

If I were to try to work off a rigid agenda, I might disappoint some coaches by leavng a topic too soon, or by staying on one topic so long I failed to get to the last couple of items on the agenda.

If there is something specific that interests you, we may be able to handle that before or after the clinic or at lunch break.

Q. Is a clinic the best way to learn the Double-Wing?

No. Not from scratch. My clinics are aimed a wide spectrum of coaches - from beginning youth coaches to experienced high school coaches - but they are not designed to be a substitute for my teaching materials - to teach the Double-Wing to people with no knowledge of it at all. You will get the most benefit from one of my clinics if have had some exposure to the Double-Wing. I strongly advise being familiar with "Dynamics of the Double Wing."

Q. I have coached for 6 years in the 10-13 year age range and tinkered with the double wing in the past.  I was hoping to really use it this year and wanted to know if your clinic is focused on coaches new to this offense.  Also, which tapes would you recommend" Thanks for your help.

A. Good question. It's fair to say that the clinics, while aimed at people who already run my offense, are very useful to people who might not have run it yet but do have a basic understanding of it - terminology, etc. You can't get to that point without 'Dynamics of the Double Wing" - video and playbook.

"Installing the System" would also be invaluable, and "A Fine Line" would be a big help, too. So would "Troubleshooting."

If you come in with that knowledge, you will not be alone, and things will not go over your head. You'll able to understand and profit from what you see and hear, and to talk "Double-Wing" with other coaches at the clinic.

Q. Is there an overall theme?

Yes. The overall theme is the two major characteristics of my system - simplicity and breadth. I believe that's what makes it unique.

Thanks to its simplicity, we're able to teach it relatively quickly, and to concentrate on running a certain basic core of plays very well.

But thanks to its breadth - its versatility and flexibility - we are able to become truly multiple by employing that basic core and its offshoots in a wide variety of formations.

My aim has always been to send people away with a better understanding of how to be a more effective Double Wing coach, and with a whole lot of things to think about. I think that most people who have attended one of my clinics will tell you that I have succeeded in doing that.

Q. I'd like to attend more than one clinic.

A. Our policy is - IF YOU PAY FOR ONE CLINIC, YOU CAN ATTEND A SECOND ONE (OR EVEN A THIRD ONE) FREE. Every year there is a number of very interested coaches who attend more than one clinic and as a result, I now offer - space permitting - free admission to a second (or third!) clinic to any coach who has paid to attend an earlier clinic this year.

Q. What is your policy on refunds?

We cannot make refunds less than ONE WEEK before a clinic. The pre-registration discount is offered in return for a firm commitment from you so that we can make our plans accordingly. If, however, you find yourself unable to attend a clinic you've pre-registered for, you may apply the registration fee to another clinic.

Q. Do you offer a staff discount?

A. Yes. Provided that payment is made in advance - and with the same purchase order or check - if you pay for four coaches the fifth coach from your staff attends free.

Q. What if we pay for a certain number of coaches and one of them can't make it?

A. We don't offer refunds, but we will give you a credit toward purchase of videos.
