Dear
Michael,
The most
exciting inline skating event in North America is
taking place in Ottawa this year!
Bold you think? Well, here's the proof: We
have organized a once-in-a-life-time, high powered
line-up of champion athletes as presenters and
coaches, including the legendary Eddy
Matzger, Canadian inline champion
and kinesiology expert Barry
Publow, registered dietitian and peak
performance expert Beth Mansfield and
Shauna Taylor, sport psychologist
accustomed to working with Canadian national level
athletes.

June 22-24 - Amazing Skate Farm
Roadshow  To train with and
learn from the best, in any discipline, is often just a
dream. At OISC we make dreams reality!
That's why we built this conference style high
energy, jam packed weekend.
We asked the very best trainers and coaches -
highly accomplished athletes in their own right
- to share their knowledge and experience with all
of us.
LIMITED SEATS - TO SECURE YOUR SPOT - REGISTER HERE. Get energize! Eddy Matzger is one of the most successful
inline skaters...ever! He's won
countless races both in North America and Europe,
including the legendary long distance races in NYC and
Athens to Atlanta, as well as the Ottawa marathon. He
is uniquely known for skating extreme
venues like bridge supports and glass roof buildings,
he's raced camels in Africa and streetcars in San
Francisco (uphill no less). This is Eddy's only Canadian date in 2007 -
and the only date within a 1,000 km of
Ottawa!
Get trained to train!
Barry Publow is a former National Inline
Speed Skating Champion and still holds
Canadian records in the 300m and 500m. During 6 years on
Canada's national team, he has competed at World
Championships and Pan American Games.
Barry is a leading authority in the areas of
sport-specific technique, biomechanics, and training
application. He was the first to study,
dissect, write about and create a teaching method for
the "double-push". Since 1997 Barry has coordinated a
series of weekend workshops (now known as SpeedCamp) in Canada, the US and in
Europe.
Win the head game! Shaunna Taylor is a mental training and
sport psychology counselling
specialist who works with many of Canada's national and
Olympic athletes, most recently with paralympic athletes
in Torino, Italy.

Publow on Training Well 
Few understand biomechanics of skating better than
Barry - and few teach technical skill as precisely as
he.

preparation for his presentation during the Skate Farm Roadshow
weekend. |
