Powerpoint Presentation about Footbag to a Conference

Post by ednie »

Hi Everyone,

About a month back I gave a 30 minute powerpoint presentation about Footbag to a group of about 50 Physical Education Teachers in Melbourne. I was the keynote speaker and it lead to five or six schools contacting me and organising to have Footbag at their schools. ACHPER (Australian Council for Health Physical Education and Recreation) had it videoed and it's on their home page now :) http://www.achper.vic.edu.au/index.php Its not the whole time I spoke, its been edited a bit where there was a pause.

You can watch the video here:

Thanks!

Great presentation Dan!

I´m convinced all of the audience were amazed by the fact that hacky sack has also its professional form and astonished by the story about what footbag means to you. I was astonished as well. Some parts of your speech were really exciting(Your journey to worlds 2007), others truly amused me(The czech word "vole") :P .All in all, I think you did an excellent job.


Keep it up,

I watched it. I think the hardest part is explaining what footbag is, what makes it different from "hacky" and so on. You did that well. Also, as I was watching you speak, I didn't feel as bored as normally when listening to a speech. Maybe it's how you enjoy telling your story.

Keep doing good presentations/shows!

thanks so much for the great responses guys :)

yes send me your translations - that would be great

footbag has been the biggest thing that's ever happened to me :) and i think the potential it has to help people learn good skills is limitless

There is actually a fourth part where I talk about the TV shows I've been on but they weren't allowed to put that online because it shows the TV shows. I will put it onto youtube if i can. but for now I have to finish these two essays!!!!

Thank you:)

Dan, great presentation. I loved the story about your competition experience at WFC 07. I think that including the parts about your personal turmoil during competition really endeared you to the audience, and gave an element that made it really easy to relate.

Thanks for this, there is a lot that footbag presenters could learn from your video.
BRICK!

really great job
very clear for non players
and really great not to be only in a description of the sport but also in your own state of mind during these differents parts of your life
I was just desapointed not to see your world routine at the end cause u said u would show it at the begining of the presentation
anyway, BRAVO
don't play, just dance

Props dan!

As I told you over chat: you managed to create a great atmosphere, and that's harder to do than one would imagine. Area for improvement: make the message clearer!

I really enjoyed that! You're a very eloquent speaker - your speech never
got boring or lengthy!
