The first week off I traveled to India for some meetings with International Sports Performance Sciences (IPS). Although we didn't get to meet with everyone we hoped to meet, it was a productive week. I was able to reconnect with our Indian IPS partner, Naveen, and met up with Craig, who came in from the states.
We were able to spend some quality time with the head Indian wrestling coach, Vinod Kumar, at the wrestling federation and at his office.

We were also able to spend some time with U.S. strength coach, Zak Penwell, who works with the Indian Basketball Federation. We were able to visit the weight room he has worked hard to develop over the last year. Zak calls the weight room the finest in India and he is probably right.
