KSI CIP 101: KSI Theory of Physical Preparation (Home Study Program)

The Theory of Physical Preparation Course is a 15 unit program. The course consists of study notes and assessment for each chapter. The study notes are almost conclusive to complete the course, however we do recommend a number of other support texts including the NSCA's 'Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning' and Tudor Bompa's 'Theory and Methodology of Training'. The assessment involves open book assessment and unlimited opportunity to repeat until the minimum pass mark is attained. The system is set up such that if you are struggling with any unit of work, the KSI Director of Education or your mentor coach will make contact with you.

Level 1 is focused on the 'Theory of KSI Methods'. It includes the following fifteen modules, each of these units valued at $49.95 USD:

Unit 1 Philosophies of the Ian King Training Methods
Unit 2 Systems of the body
Unit 3 Training Theory
Unit 4 Theory of Flexibility Development
Unit 5 Theory of Flexibility Development
Unit 6 Theory of Speed Development
Unit 7 Theory of Strength Development
Unit 8 Theory of Endurance Development
Unit 9 Periodization and Integration of the Physical Qualities
Unit 10 Recovery Methods
Unit 11 Assessment of the Physical Qualities
Unit 12 Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
Unit 13 Business Development
Unit 14 Financial Development
Unit 15 Personal Development

To support your progress in the CIP Theory of Physical Preparation Course, we have put together the following material that we believe are the basics to ensure we achieve our collective goals in this program:

* The Foundations of Physical Preparation DVD (usual retail value $ 157 USD)
* The Way of the Physical Preparation Coach E-book (usual retail value - $ 34.95 USD)
* The Winning and Losing E-book (usual retail value $ 34.95 USD) * So You Want to Become a Strength & Conditioning Coach? E-book (usual retail value $ 21.95 USD)

Note you don't have to purchase the above in addition - they are included in your course registration fee. They were not always, but we found some attempting to do the 101 and skimp on purchasing them, undermining the value of the course. So we decided to include them in the package.

There are no pre-requisites for involvement in the CIP Theory of Physical Preparation Course.

We encourage you to get started on the KSI CIP 101 ASAP to be ready for the final KSI CIP 102 for 2007, which starts Friday 8 June 2007!

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed going through the Level One Program. I have read every article you have posted on T-mag (now T-nation!). I also have purchased in the past several of your books. As far as the Level One program goes - I am always impressed with your no nonsense approach - units 13, 14, and 15 were also incredible reads. I showed them to my wife and parents, since it dealt with so much more than just training. Obviously, your training knowledge and experience is unparalleled, but your insight into life in general was refreshing. Thanks again!
--Lee

The level one is excellent. I've been trying to test my knowledge on quizzes prior to reading the content to see just how much I know...needless to say I eventually find myself going over the content and learning so much.
--Sam.

I particularly like the inclusion of the business, financial and personal sections. It is something which is not ever addressed as s&c coaches yet very important as we are trying to make a living from it. Thanks!
--Adrian

Mike, Thanks, the call yesterday was great! Since I've never been part of a conference call prior I didn't know what do expect but I liked it very much and it helped me to see information that I thought I understood in a different light. I wrote over 3 sheets of paper of notes that I will work through again until next Friday. All the best!
--Andi

I wanted to drop you a line and say that call was great!!! I have read Ian's book foundations, but this really helped put it together. It isn't very often where you buy something like the CIP and feel like the first call was nearly worth the money. I anxiously look forward to the content of the next 5 calls. Just wanted to tell you that what KSI has put together, is looking to be far more impressive than I would have initially thought. Me being an amateur (for now), in all of the areas the CIP covers, this content is really going to push me. That is excellent this call gave me more direction for my personal studies.
--James

I live in small town Canada. There is not really anyone that stands out in the field of physical prep that I can look up to for advice. Plus, many don't like to share their secrets for fear of losing out. If I am going to learn from anyone, it is going to be someone who has faced the same challenges and succeeded.

It has been fascinating being able to link with like minded people through this website. Without sounding like a cliché, it has changed the direction my life took though I didn't know it at the time. It only happened because of interacting with people on this forum though. At first I was afraid to post due to lack of confidence. I believe that has changed. I encourage more people to ask questions, you never know what new friends you will make and who might be able to change your direction and inspire you.

The CIP is a great way to start because I just have to pick up the phone once a month. Every call so far has helped me develop my career and thought processes in one way or another.

I used to procrastinate and got nowhere. I thought I stopped being a student after I finished Uni, I was wrong. Each call has pushed me into action in one way or another.

KSI CIP 103: KSI Three Day Boot Camp (Live-in)

This is one of the flag-ship events from the company that first brought professional development Boot Camps to this industry. Not only were we the first, we still offer an experience that no-one else can match. (Although many have tried!)

The KSI CIP 103 Level 1 Boot Camp has been a life-changing experience for so many! It's a three day event, in which you are required to travel to and live-in (usually in a hotel or similar) and we work intensely (more so on your mind-set) for three days.

The pre-requisites for participation in this program include both the KSI CIP 101(Theory of Physical Preparation Course) and KSI CIP 102 (Conference Call Series).

I want to thank you again for all you did during the KSI CIP 103 Boot Camp. I can't even begin to tell you how much I learned and how it has changed my perspective on life. I look forward to continuing my growth as a person and hopefully as a KSI coach! Sincerely.
--Brittany

Ian, Thank-you again for the opportunity to interact and learn from the exceptional coaches from KSI. Each one demonstrates a high level of character and commitment to excellence; the fact that they are willing and able to communicate their skills is a bonus I am grateful to have the opportunity to experience. The value I received is far greater than the monetary cost of the KSI CIP 103 Boot Camp – not even close!

There are many concepts that I was exposed to during my time in Utah that are already proving beneficial as I move forward; a couple in particular.

1. Consistency is the key to any successful endeavor, whether it be physical preparation, business, relationships – anything. Take action every day that will further your goals.

2. Effective time management; deletion and delegation. Get the clutter out of life that interferes with your goals and make time for the important things. I also appreciated the manner in which you suggested our priorities be arranged:

a. Personal health
b. Family
c. Financial – Never allow this to take priority over 1 & 2

The exposure I have had to KSI has caused me to conclude that the training in physical preparation is the finest available anywhere. While this is important, it is more important to me personally that KSI prompts development in all areas of life – personal and professional. It is evident to me that there is a sincere desire to see students grow and succeed in their endeavors – this is far different from many organizations out there.

I would be remiss if I did not let you know how much I appreciated working one on one with Miguel Charles. The time he spent with me is paying dividends in my health and has changed my thinking as it relates to the relative importance of the physical qualities. The added emphasis on flexibility and stretching has made a positive impact on my quality of life already.

My wife Nancy and I have the opportunity to meet with Mike and Rhonda Pimentel next week. This is just one step of action of many that we are making as we move forward on this new journey. I look forward to a continued association with you and your fine organization. Thank-you!
--Dean

I wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the seminar and Boot Camp recently - it truly has made an impact, not only in my training, but even more so (and, I feel, more importantly) in my personal development. It really was a terrific learning and transforming experience, even if I have only applied a fraction of the content so far!

In particular, I have noticed how working with you personally in a group has had a positive impact on my outlook and train of thought, increasing my self awareness noticeably. In fact, to the extent that it has even benefited some of my friends as my attitude has rubbed of on them too! Often, if I am performing an action or discussing certain topics, the question you frequently posed "How much is this going to affect where you are in 5 years?" comes into my mind....in which case if it unproductive we move onto something else. Also, the postural awareness too!

2. KSI Coach Mentoring Program (CMP)

The Mentored Coach is the second level in the KING Coaching Program. This is a three year program and only those who have successfully completed the KSI Coach Intern Program (CIP) are considered.

The KSI Coach Mentoring Program (CMP) aims to create profitable businesses for physical preparation coaches through the provision of the most effective physical training and business systems in the world, and in doing so create a network of coaches internationally who provide consistency of quality to our collective clients, and perpetuate this unique training system. Our goal is that you will be able raise the quality of and therefore the demand for your services. And as a result of this, you will be able to charge more for your services and work less if you wish.

At this level the coaches undergo the most extensive training conducted in this industry, and the training of this caliber over so many years would be rare in any industry.

A KSI Coach will be part of an international network, therefore in addition to your own clients, you can expect referrals from KSI coaches in other countries who have clients that travel and these clients wish to maintain the same level of service. We also get approaches from coaches who want a physical preparation coach who can service the Ian King way. In the last few years, we have received requests of this nature from England, Canada, USA and Australia, to name a few of the countries. This may provide another source of opportunity, especially to those who wish to travel overseas to work.

Coaches in this program will be tied to the high standard reputation that KSI as a brand name in sport and training has achieved.

The CMP is not for everyone, however after the 6-12 months of your Intern involvement, both you and KSI have a better insight into your suitability for this program. So if you interest is strong and you have a true desire to be part of this elite group, we encourage you to move forward with the KSI Coach Intern Program.

How does that compare to graduates of the professional development program you participated in? How does that compare with you right now?

In meeting three King coaches now (Miguel Charles, Michael Pimentel, and Mitchell Kochonda), I am awed and inspired by the consistency and focus of principle and practice each applies to his life.

All three exude a constant good cheer and constantly strive to do better. I have yet to hear a negative attitude, thought, principle, or even word come from any of them nor have I once heard a hint of blame placed anywhere outside of their own selves.

In my association with all three, I have left feeling enlightened in my own potential and encouraged that by following the example of each of them.

I will most surely reach that potential. That one has come through the coaching program would make me ecstatic to continue in the CIP, that all three are King coaches provides a stunning testimonial for the whole program. Thank you all three for the guidance and inspiration.
--Rachel

I recognize as well the value of your teachings and it's no wonder I connect with Deepak, since you both communicate the same message, just from different backgrounds. This is not a case of one person having more value in what they say, just very useful when I have a book in front of me to read, underline and re-read. You have opened my awareness to all of this and each new book or event that speaks to this awareness increases my understanding. For your involvement in my life as a mentor I am truly grateful. I have been reflecting on your impact on my life to date and I cannot imagine anyone one else in your place.
--Darren Stehle

THANK YOU for all your help in taking me & my business to another level I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. The CMP has helped me grow so mush in the last year & three months. And it's only just begun!
--Miguel Charles
