The I-70 clinic is a great source to increase your knowledge in the game! I have been fortunate to have spoken here twice and can tell you that I love coming because I pick up great information not only from the other speakers but also from the attendees. Having meals together, the interaction...second to none. Top flight clinic. Thanks for the opportunity. Please keep me in mind for a 3rd.
Thanks to all the coaches who attended the 2010 clinic. We had 152 coaches from across Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. And a big thanks to our speakers too for taking the time to share their knowledge.
Check back to this site later in the year for information on our next clinic.
The 2010 I-70 clinic will be held January 18, 2010, MLK day.
