Dr Tommie Smith & Calais Campbell feature on #1000CoachesforChange during the first virtual ACP.

Dr Tommie Smith and Calais Campbell discuss speed development, coaching, and social change during the ALTIS Virtual Apprentice Coach Program.

Two years ago, we hosted our very first Virtual ACP - driven by the campaign 1000 Coaches for Change... In the midst of the current Global pandemic, the usual ALTIS in-person Apprentice Coach Program events had to be cancelled, so we replaced it with the very first Virtual Apprentice Coach Program. The theme of the Virtual ACP was ‘Speed for Sport’, with every aspect of speed covered from technique, reaction speed, strength & conditioning and programming. The acclaimed event was spread over 4 days and included presentations with coaches from the world of Track & Field, Baseball, American Football, the UFC, the NBA and English Football. Ultimately, over 1400 coaches from around the World signed up and were treated to some incredible workshops from the likes of NBA legend Steve Kerr, Track & Field Super Coach Dan Pfaff, Olympic Gold medallist and now coach to 400m hurdle World Silver Medallist - Joanna Hayes and Rachel Balkovec, the first female hitting coach in the MLB. To add to this, ALTIS created the campaign #1000CoachesforChange, and donated all of the registration fees to the Virtual ACP to a scholarship endowment at an Historically Black College. One of our favorite chats featured a Q&A session between NFL Star - Calais Campbell and the Legend - Dr Tommie Smith. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, Dr. Tommie Smith won the gold medal in the 200m in 19.68 seconds. He has since made history as a civil rights leader.
