The question is why do we meet in the first place? I can’t answer that question for everyone and probably not for anyone else apart from myself. There are different events. And not everyone who goes can win even one of them. I’m not going to win accuracy for example, not unless the Americans don’t g...

Hi Andy, Yep. We all have a ceiling where it’s going to be too expensive. That’s going to depend on how much money we have available and how much it defines who we are. Some are happy with these current costs, particularly if they are on a sponsored team or live in a country with a strong currency. ...

Cheers! I’ll have to watch this on my laptop or iPad later because I can’t read the text on my phone

Thanks John, Video analysis is interesting. The book Vince suggested reading didn’t recommend it as highly as I thought they would. I’ve found it useful, I think, in both my own casting as well as swim training. The reason however that it’s thought to not always be effective is because it can give “...

Well good. I wish them the best and I hope things can really move forward, Nils. I’m just concerned about these WCs because unfortunately I know a lot of people who aren’t going. They don’t have the high cost of airfares and the $400 ICSF individual membership fee to contend with that some of us hav...

Not necessarily. As long as there is sufficient line in the direction of the target and enough speed in the line then RSP can be below the line path. morph.jpeg Not sure if this will show it. But we certainly have seen “stopless” casts producing very pointed loops and RSP is well below fly leg path ...

Cheers, interesting stuff. Have you tried asking students to do it? Again in the article it partly supports the idea of skills acquisition and not only of refinement. I can imagine it might surprise a few students, although mine already think I’m weird. “Close your eyes, count to 10, breathe deeply,...

I’ll try to get something organised here, John. There is funding for events and I’ve been asked by the TV producers to come up with an event plan to get the funding! I have been thinking about a SE Asia competition with an open invite. Probably held either on the lake here or else in Langkawi. Just ...

The new tiered affiliation fee is another first

Maybe but 400 Euros is very expensive for an individual such as myself, on top of an already high price for the event.

Let me ask two questions then. Is there an active committee on the ICSF marketing the sport, producing press releases and keeping it in the public eye, that is in constant contact with sports programmers and magazines/newspapers? And then is there a committee dedicated to finding event sponsorship? ...
