TOM NORDLAND WILL BE IN MINNEAPOLIS THIS WEEKEND

Tom Nordland, one of the top shooting coaches in the country, will be putting on two clinics at the Colin Powell Center on 4th Ave. and Lake Street in Minneapolis this coming weekend, as follows:

• Friday, Oct. 10th (5-9PM)

• Sunday evening, Oct. 12th (5-9PM)


LOCATION: Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center2924 4th Avenue South Minneapolils, MN 55408
These clinics are 4 hours long and Tom will coach up to 24 kids/clinic. They are open to both kids AND coaches. The coaches will take the clinic as a student, as that’s the best way to coach anything. You will be able to do it yourself, be in the “stew” of learning, so to speak. He’ll continually point out the coaching points during the clinics.

FEES


The fees are reduced for these clinics, in light of the challenging economy we are all facing:
• Regular fee for a player: $50, which includes the Swish 1 DVD
• Regular price augmented (includes both Swish videos*), $60
• Fee for siblings, $40, no video (where first sibling pays full price)
• Fee for repeaters: $40 (no video)
• Repeaters price, including Swish 2: $50
• Fee for coaches, including Swish 2: $40
*The package of both videos is worth $45 alone.

Tom's clinics are getting more and more exciting and effective as he sees additional things all the time and new ways to say and coach them. He'll be teaching the "Swish Free Throw" at these clinics, a new and extremely powerful way to approach this simple-but-challenging shot. He can see that the main thing he's doing (and teaching others to do) is coaching kids to be able to coach themselves. As they learn to shoot a basketball -- and, more powerfully for them, how to learn anything -- their self images can alter and self esteem rise. This is one of the great things about sports, the potential for growth as human beings. Let’s work together to help more kids experience how awesome they truly are!
