This episode was originally recorded for the Parkinson's Association of San Diego Microcast series.

When we conceived the topic for this microcast the idea was to talk about the differences for a coach working wth older athletes and younger athletes, or older people with Parkinson's who have to exercise and younger people, with or without Parkinson's, who want to exercise.

However, as the conversation developed, the apparent differences became less and less obvious.

Join Coach Tracey Jacobs, a cyclist having won world and national championships, and Jeff Seckendorf, age 70, coach and world record holder on the bike and Director of Operations at the Parkinson's Association of San Diego, as they unpack this seemingly simple topic.

After 17 years at the helm of Unified Team Diving I have passed the management of the company on to Director of Development Jay Gardner and Training Director Ben Bos. In this carcast I take a few minutes to look back at some of the history of UTD and how it impacted my life and, hopefully in a really good way, the lives of lots of scuba divers and scuba instructors.

The electrical engineers creed about soldering: "The bigger the blob, the better the job."

The rock climbers creed about rope: "If you don't know the knot, tie a lot."

These two sayings, unfortunately, summarize much of the recreational scuba training that is currently happening. Without an understanding of "why," instructors are showing students how to do skills and expecting them to fully learn those skills. That, however, is impossible.

In this short carcast, Jeff looks at the concept of proper education and its most vital cousin: retention.
