FAQ – Common Questions
Will Mike Robertson be presenting this courses again? No, this is the first and only time he will be presenting this course. Mike does not do many presentations. He does some short one to two hour presentations for conferences but he does not do full day seminars. I was lucky enough to sweet talk him into presenting two full days in Vancouver. I don’t think he has ever present two full 8 hour days, sharing all of his secrets when it comes to training the knee and lower back.
Will Mike Robertson be coming back to Canada to present again? No, this is his first visit and there are no plans for him to return. I had to book Mike a year in advance to have him come up to Vancouver and present. To what I know, Mike’s schedule is nearly full for 2011.
I can’t make the course? I would find a way to get to the course. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be learning from one of the great rehabilitation and performance trainers out there.
