Hats off to Phil Ericsson

I would just like to acknowledge the professionalism displayed by Phil Ericsson in making a study tour down under. At his own expense - he spent over a month in OZ working with and observing John Gormley in Adelaide, Mark Stewart in Melbourne and Alex Parnov in Perth. I believe that he is the first US coach to make a dedicated tour of this kind and I would like to commend his enthusiasm and commitment - which followed up his 1200 mile drive from Minnesota to Boone,NC last year to attend the Agapit/Altius coaches clinic - where he slept in a tent. He is a great guy and deserves every success in the future - unfortunately he may have to move from Minnesota to somewhere warmer to achieve it!
