Testimonials:

• Finally a Pro-D that will be totally useful and practical with in a school setting. It has been a while since there has been a PE/Athletics type session for teachers. I look forward to attending the additional presentations by Twist. Thanks!
• Being a coach I find this very relevant and useful. Often I attend a workshop (seated) and possibly think about incorporating it- often never do these workshops get me excited- perfect timing as it is track season. As well as I saw the effects and benefits personally. Thanks it was super!!!!!
• I enjoyed the hands on nature! Peter has a good sense of humour, lots of stories. Great Speaker. Something that will benefit me personally and professionally.
• Awesome- kept us active but incorporated theory as well
• Two things really stood out for me
  1. Many of the exercises were challenging so athletes will work harder to
     improve at the task
  2. Most of the skills and exercises could be done in a very small space. This is important for teachers with larger classes and limited facilities.
