The sun never sets on Human Kinetics offices
in Champaign, Illinois; Leeds, England; Wind-sor, Ontario; and Adelaide, Australia. Our business activities run all day and night as well as during many weekends. Pursuing our mission of producing resources to help people
lead healthier, more active lives takes many forms and occurs in many places.
Here’s a look at some of the events filling our day on Monday, July 30.
HK’s week begins, as it always does, in Australia, 14.5 hours ahead of the time at corporate head-quarters in Champaign. Wendy Simpson, the new managing director of HK Australia who replaced the retiring Chris Halbert, e-mails a monthly sales report showing improvement in Australia sales.
In England, the excitement of the London Olympics is exhilarating. At the Global Coaches House in the heart of London, Ted Miller, our vice president of Product Acquisitions, wraps up a meeting with strength and conditioning special-ist and coach, and HK author, Clive Brewer.

During the event, HK releases the International Sport Coaching Framework, a booklet distributed free of charge during the Games (see article on page 2).

HK at the Global Coaches House
While most of the rest of the world focused
on the 2012 Summer Olympics in London from late July through early August, Human Kinetics was conducting business in England’s capital city. HK’s presence on Pic-cadilly stemmed from a partnership forged
in February with the International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE).
The ICCE arranged for a site where coaches, coaching researchers, and coach developers could congregate to share ideas and stories, learn from world-renowned experts on their coaching-related topics, or simply gather to watch the Games. Dubbed the Global Coaches House (GCH), the facility was located in the center of the city not far from Buckingham Palace and only a short walk from the Tube, London’s public railway.
HK Europe’s managing director Sara Cooper set up an attractive product display in a room off the main entrance for the GCH’s opening on July 27, and I held a series of meetings at the GCH with current and prospective authors as well as with ICCE leaders regarding several future ventures.
Leading up to the London event, HK produced a 40-page full-color booklet titled International Sport Coaching Framework (ISCF). The ISCF represented several years of thought, research, discussion, and ultimately writing by the ICCE and its coauthor, the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF), composed of the 28 governing bodies overseeing the sports involved in the Games. On August 1, ISCF was released at a special ceremony in which the ICCE’s president John Bales and vice president for Europe Pat Duffy praised HK’s efforts and spoke very optimistically about what the ICCE and HK can achieve in years to come.

In earlier issues of this newsletter, you read
quite a bit about HK’s multiplatform approach to publishing. The Con-sumer Division finds these to be exciting times and is actively publishing products in a variety of media. One look at our current product line, which
includes e-books, DVDs, mobile applications, and video on demand, is evidence of this. The reason is simple: Information is only as valu-able as its ability to be accessed, interpreted, and applied.
Today’s consumer is more demanding than ever, and making sure your information is easily accessible is the driving force behind what the Consumer Division does. It’s why we continue to expand our delivery and sales channels, explore new formats, and enhance existing products.
In a world of Kindles and Nooks and tablets, it’s critical to have products available wherever,

Delivering the Best Content in the Best Formats
however, and whenever it is sought. For a format such as e-books, that means creating and uploading as many as 13 separate versions to e-book sales partners. The result is that whether consumers search Amazon or Apple, whether they prefer reading content on an iPad or on a laptop, your product will be ready and waiting.
Similarly, there is an entire generation whose first instinct is to seek “an app for that.” A mobile
app is unique in the sense that it isn’t a substitute for a print product but is a separate product that enhances a book’s content. If an app might be an effective way of extending the content you supply, it’s important that we identify that early on—during the acquisitions stage—and then work closely with you to modify or add the required content.
What does this mean for you? It means that the product you once envisioned only as a print book may have potential as a multiformat suite of products, including as an enhanced e-book, a mobile application, or as on-demand video segments.
The challenge for us is making sure we create effective products from the content you provide. The most important aspect of this is planning. Identifying the specific products, including the purpose, features, and audience, is critical. What are we trying to achieve and what is the best approach for achieving that? What are consum-ers’ expectations? What is practical and what is needed? Through a good partnership, we’ll find ways to answer those questions together.

Physical activity is critical to children’s health and well-being. Research shows that children
with better health are in school more days, are better able to learn, have higher self-esteem, and are at lower risk for developing chronic diseases. In an effort to get kids moving, the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN) is launching the Presidential Youth Fitness Program this month. The new school-based program will replace the President’s Council Youth Fitness Test, which has been implemented in schools since 1985.
Although the President’s Council Fitness Test evolved through the years, that test used physical fitness data from a 1985 National School Popula-tion Fitness Survey. The test only measured how students performed certain activities compared to peers and reported little about students’ actual health.
Based on the latest science, the PCFSN has teamed up with leaders in the fields of physi-cal education, fitness, and health including the

Presidential Youth Fitness Program Adopts the Fitnessgram Assessment President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition
American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD); the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU); the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and the Cooper Institute to launch the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, a voluntary school-based program that promotes health and regular physical activity for America’s kids.
The Presidential Youth Fitness Program has adopted Fitnessgram as its assessment. Fitnessgram, in partnership with NFL Play 60, is a health-related, criterion-based assessment developed by the Cooper Institute. Unlike the President’s Council Youth Fitness Test, Fitness-gram helps minimize comparisons between children and instead supports students as they pursue personal fitness goals for lifelong health. The assessment measures health-related fitness through a variety of items designed to assess cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. The Presidential Youth Fitness Program has also
adopted Physical Best for professional develop-ment. Human Kinetics publishes Fitnessgram for the Cooper Institute and Physical Best for AAHPERD.

Human Kinetics moved to its current location
on North Market Street in Champaign in 1984, and we’ve taken great pride in being a responsible neighbor. We’ve become an active part of our com-munity and work to sup-port the residents in our neighborhood.
We recently participated in two exciting new initiatives. First, we leased nine acres of Human Kinetics property to the Champaign Park District for the development of Human Kinetics Park. Discussions began last fall and the lease was signed this past spring. The first soccer field was installed in July. Future plans for the park include adding another soccer field, a baseball and softball backstop, and two sand volleyball courts. We’re excited about the park and have already witnessed many happy kids enjoying the new field.
Then, in November 2011, Human Kinetics was asked by the City of Champaign to participate as a member of the Neighborhood Revitalization Steering Committee. The goals for this committee are to evaluate and then recommend solutions to

promote a safe and stable environment; provide residents with opportuni-ties that create a healthy quality of life; provide housing that is attractive, valuable, healthy, and available at a variety of price points; create a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly neighborhood with good access to transit; enhance neighborhood aesthetics; and create additional recreational opportunities. The plan will be implemented in stages over the next 5 to 10 years.
In an ongoing effort to keep neighborhood residents informed of the issues, Human Kinet-ics and the City of Champaign partnered to host Healthy Neighborhood workshops on August 4 at our Human Kinetics facility. Attendees had the options of completing an assessment to evaluate their current financial circumstances and goals and meeting with a credit counselor to answer individual questions and obtain a free credit report. Participants in the workshops also
learned how to create planter boxes that they could take home. These boxes serve as a reminder to residents of the revitalization taking place in their neighborhood. A community garden initiative is also in the planning stages.
After the workshops were completed, the Champaign Park District held a Family Fun Day at Human Kinetics Park. The event included inflatables for the kids, music, and a chance for residents to get together. Boxed lunches were also served to the workshop participants and distributed to children attending the park event.

Photo and video pro-ductions for Human
Kinetics’ products have changed significantly in the last 15 years. HK established a Video Department and also hired a full-time photographer in the late 1990s. Since that time, those crews have traveled to many
locations in the United States, Canada, and the UK, capturing images that make our products visually appealing and informative.
If you have a project that requires a photo or video shoot, you’ll start working with staff in the HK video and photo departments early in a product’s life. Your involvement in the planning and execution of productions is critical to the success of these projects. We count on you to help us arrange the location and models needed for the project and the schedule for the produc-tion. Our most successful productions involve constant and unfettered access to these facili-ties, with several models available throughout the production.

Once a schedule is set, Joyce Brumfeld or Amy Rose begin making arrangements for crew travel. If your shoot requires you to attend a production at HK, Joyce and Amy will help with your travel to Champaign. Neil Bernstein, our staff photographer, and Gregg Henness, video producer and director, will also work directly with you as the production dates approach to ensure preparations are in place for a success-ful production.
On average, most productions (photo or video) take one to two days on location. A three-day production may be required for projects with a longer photo list or a combined photo and video production.

Christine Halbert, Man-aging Director of HK
Australia/New Zealand, announced her official retirement from Human Kinetics in July. Chris’ enthusiasm, leadership and infectious laugh will be missed by our staff and customers worldwide. Chris and her husband
Jack became associated with Rainer Martens in 1977, when both were still University professors. Jack came to the United States to meet and col-laborate with Rainer in the field of sport psychol-ogy. A friendship blossomed between the two men and their wives that remains strong today. In 1988, Rainer expressed an interest in expand-ing his business to the Australian market. Both men hesitated to suggest a business agree-ment, due to their valued friendship. Final-ly, Jack told Rainer that he and Chris could run the business better than anyone else he could find in Australia and Rainer agreed. Chris was the main force behind the Australian division with assistance from Jack and her par-ents. Jack retired from the University of South Australia to work at HK Australia part-time in 1994. In the beginning, Chris told Rainer, “I don’t know a thing about publishing, but I’ve got really good organizational skills and common sense.” Chris says these two skills served her well as

she made the transition from a vocal professor at Adelaide University to the business world. Jack’s high profile in Australian sport helped build valuable contacts, but Chris’ business values and dedication to customer service has been the solid foundation on which HK Australia has thrived. “I’ve found if you have any challenges, it’s best to pick up the phone and talk about it,” Chris says. She prefers to meet problems head on and work out a solution rather than let a relationship deteriorate.
Over the years, HK Australia has discovered that there are some things that needed to be made specifically Australian, such as producing their own catalogs and other marketing materials. According to Chris, some of the terminology and color schemes that came from the U.S. weren’t as appealing to their Australian customers. They have also developed products specifically for the Australian market.
New technology over the last 24 years has brought many changes to our company. From Chris’ perspective, one of the aspects which has been most affected is the speed of product delivery. Products used to take 12 weeks to ship from HK’s warehouse in the United States to Adelaide in Australia. Eventually Chris got that delivery time down to 5 weeks. With modern electronic delivery options, shipping is done less often. “If you release an app, it can be purchased and delivered instantaneously across the world,”

Best wishes to Chris halbert
For 24 years, Chris Halbert has been the “face” of Human Kinetics Australia. We sin-cerely appreciate her hard work and untiring devotion to the company, along with Jack’s, and her efforts to increase the visibility of HKA. We’ll miss Chris, but wish her well
as she tackles all of the things that retired people get to do, including spending more time with fam-ily and pursuing lots of new and exciting personal interests. Thanks so much, Chris!
–rainer & Julie martens
Chris acquired, developed and nurtured the 1884 church building which HKA is happily ensconced in. Since her retirement, the building has an air of emptiness; no clatter of the keyboard from the far south-east corner of the building, no early morning speaker-phone calls to the USA office, and nobody in the building for the breakfast shift! Chris’s enthu-siasm for fitness and health, her contacts in the sport world, and her boundless energy have been the driving force behind Human Kinetics’ development in Australia, and in more recent years, New Zealand. Known by her colleagues never to forget a face, name, or number industry associates are already missing her energy, never failing positive attitude and her ability to guide people though projects and situations to a successful end goal.

in memoriam
In June, legendary swimming coach Cecil Colwin passed away at the age of 85 in Ottawa, Canada. Mr. Colwin was born in 1927 in Port Elizabeth, Cape Province, South Africa. He coached South African swim-mers from 1945 to 1971. He was South Africa’s first full-time
swimming coach and placed swimmers on every Olympic team for 26 years. His swimmers broke four world records.
After a short move to Australia in 1971, he was appointed Canada’s national technical director from 1973 to 1977. In 1993, he was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an honor contributor.
HK Canada’s Jake Rondot said Mr. Colwin, who wrote Breakthrough Swimming and Swim-ming Into the 21st Century, had a significant impact on Canadian swimming. That impact can be seen as far back as the early 1970s when he implemented successful talent identification programs as national technical director and more
Chris said. “We are truly a global company. It’s hard to keep up with that because it is changing so quickly.”
Chris has agreed to consult and assist with the transition to HK Australia’s new managing director, Wendy Simpson. But she has also started on her own transition to new adventures in her retirement. Chris wants to focus on increasing her physi-cal fitness, return to her musical talents and engage in ongoing study. She is looking forward to a flexible schedule that will allow time for all of this to happen, plus more time with her family, including five granddaughters. She has already began taking piano lessons and getting her voice back to performance quality. Chris has also been busy with a couple of event management tasks. She is heading a commit-tee to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Lutheran Church in Australia. The celebration will be a retrospective look at the church within a multimedia production, along with many other commemorative activities.
