WHAT ARE THE TOPICS COVERED?:

DAN JOHN
The Quadrants: Finally, clarity in the world of weights
The Role of Hypertrophy and Armor Building
The “Four Knots:” It’s not what you think about core any more.
How do YOU measure up? Do “I” need an “INTERVENTION?”
What is the impact of the strength coach to sport? Shouldn't it be obvious? Then, why doesn't the team with the best gym numbers ALWAYS win?
Should a 1,000 pound deadlifter jog, swim and bicycle? Play in a local basketball league? Should a 12 year old boy rest five minutes between his sets of 92% max on his squat?
What's a quality, anyway?
Why do the lousy guys do so much more work than the great guys?
"Do you want to be stronger or lift more weight?"
Have you earned the right to train "sport specific"?
Why does it need to be "Strength & conditioning,” not "conditioning & more conditioning"?
Do you really need plyometrics? Or, any other new hot idea?
If a training principle was considered backwards and nonproductive in the early 1960s, why would you model your career after it?
The Incredible Hulk, Sir Galahad and Bobby Fisher get into a contest. Who wins? How does armor help an athlete and when does it hurt?
The goal is to keep the goal...what? Why does everybody miss this point?
Where is Peggy Lee? Is that really "all there is?" Why does five minutes of work on a piece of paper with a few lines radically increase the chances of success?
Five Moves. Three Points. Why do I feel like maybe those zeroes are a bad thing?
Why is my favorite sports diet Frogs, Elephants and Alpo Dog Food?
Losers get more out of losing than winners get out of winning. Strong statement...but true?

Presenter Bio: Dan John

For all things Dan John related, go to his site at www.DanJohn.net!

The official introduction Vita sounds like this:

“Dan John picked up a barbell for the first time in about 1966 when his brothers bought a set from a local department store. It was the first time the world made sense to him and he has been lifting and throwing things since that day. And he thought he knew it all until he ventured out to the RKC training in San Jose. Newly humbled, he has begun a new journey of learning and lifting. Recently, Pavel Tsatsouline promoted Dan to the rank of Senior RKC Instructor.”
If you need his official “bio,” he usually sends this out:
Dan John has been teaching and coaching for well over thirty years. He is the former Strength Coach and Head Track and Field Coach at Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper, Utah He remains a full-time on-line religious studies instructor for Columbia College of Missouri and contributing writer to Men’s Health. Originally from South San Francisco, Dan came to Utah to throw the discus for Utah State University and recently returned “home” after 35 years away. He currently lives in Burlingame, California.
Dan has Masters degrees in history and in religious education, as well as intensive work at the American University in Cairo, University of Haifa, and Cornell. Dan has written articles for Catechetical Update and Utah Historical Quarterly, as well as being a columnist for the Intermountain Catholic. Dan was also a Fulbright Scholar in 1985.
In addition, Dan writes articles for a variety of strength magazines and publishes a little newsletter called Get Up, which registers up to a quarter of a million hits a month. You can also read his work at dragondoor.com and tmuscle.com, and magazines like Men’s Health and Outside and his busy forum at davedraper.com . If you sneak over the border into Utah and want to work out, give him a shout.
At home, he is humbled by his lovely wife, Tiffini, whose middle name is not “long suffering” no matter how often it is repeated, and his two daughters, Kelly and Lindsay.
In his athletic career, among many other championships and records,  Dan has won the Master Pleasanton Highland Games twice, American Masters Discus Championships several times, the National Masters Weightlifitng Championship once and holds the American Record in the Weight Pentathlon.
