Our first series of clips is from an interview with Dr. Jerry Lynch. Dr. Lynch has been a sports psychology consultant to over 24 international and national championship teams at the professional and collegiate levels.

“Anytime I’ve ever watched a video, there is always something I can take from that video. Whether it’s a different way of explaining things, a different term that’s used or a different philosophy that we haven’t even considered. We’ve been able to take the philosophies from other sports and incorporate them into lacrosse.”

This is a great quote from a 2x NCAA championship coach.  He is still a student of the game – looking for ways to improve his coaching and players.  I would tend to think this is common denominator with all successful coaches and athletes!

Ames (IA) Since 1976, Championship Productions has helped coaches and athletes in over twenty sports with a wide range of educational/instructional media. The interesting feature of a “Championship Productions’ production” is the caliber of the “teacher” – on their shelves and on their website, www.ChampionshipProductions.com , you’ll find DVDs with Hall of Fame coaches; ‘household names’ like Bob Knight, Dan Gable, Mike Krzyzewski as well as Hall of Fame coaches and athletes in sports like lacrosse (Gary Gait), swimming (Richard Quick), and volleyball (John Dunning, Russ Rose).

For the first time in its history, Championship Productions is allowing one sports marketer to take part in a first-of-its-kind “ride along” for the Calendar year of 2010. Championship Productions is utilizing eBay to launch this opportunity but will also utilize a variety of other social networking tools to spread the word among the sports marketing community.

The repeated exposure to all High School, Junior High School and University coaches in twenty sports makes this a compelling opportunity.”
