Because our Olympic Medal hopes don't seem likely to be achieved, I have decided to resurrect an article from a few years ago.The Hobie Factor.
NEW
Tips from the Master.
If you haven't heard, Hobie Billingsley has a new book out titled "A Comprehensive View of Competitive Diving." Whether you are a diver, coach or just a diving enthusiast it is something you'll want to read and keep in your library for reference.
Hobie's Progressive Idea
When judging many of us have found ourselves wishing we could flash a quarter of a point more or less than we could on the current half point scale. Well Hobie has made that idea possible with flash cards, calculators etc. In order for this idea to get off the ground, there has to be more interest shown by the diving community. If you wish to get more info, contact Hobie or find it explained in his new book on pages 277 thru 279.
