A Keynote speaker at Reno in 2004 – USATF PV Head, and many other high profile coaches have extended open invitations for Alan to offer programs at their schools. But this year, WE get him!!

In addition Alan coached or assisted with the following athletes;
• Victor Chystyakov 5.90m (19’ 4 ¼”) - 6th in Sydney
• Assisted – but did not coach - Victor’s wife Tatiana Grigorieva 4.55m (14’ 11”) and silver in Sydney
• Introduced Simon Arkell to the event 5.80m (19’ ¼”) and Commonwealth champion
• Helped Jimmy Miller 5.75m (18’ 10 ½”) for a year
• Wendy Young who is shown in the book and who at that time had jumped 4.10m (13’ 5 ½”) at age 17 - at nineteen she jumped 4.40m (14’ 5 ½”) and is shown on the back of the book - and on the DVD - doing it.
• Matt Filsell jumped 5.45m (17’ 10 ½”) as a 20 year old and Greg Halliday 5.40m (17’ 8 ½”) at the same age.

In addition Alan was national event coach in OZ for ten years and now we have three guys jumping 5.91m (19’ 5”), 6.00m (19’ 8 ¼”)and 6.05m (19’ 10 ½”). Though he doesn’t coach any of them, he has input into the coaches who do and watches them train.

Then note Vickie Parnov 4.30m (14' 1 ¼”) at age 15!!! And her sister Elizabeth at 10 is already jumping 2.30m (7’ 6”) and will break every world age group record in the future - I am not coaching them but all are using this METHOD!

Alan says the most significant thing - apart from my own kid’s performances -is the quality of the people whom he has used as mentors!! They have produced eight world championships, three Olympic champions, a world junior champion, a female world record holder, at least one indoor world champion and an Olympic silver medal for the girls! And he gets to watch Dimitri Markov train (19’ 10 ½”)!!!! Got to rub that in!!
