Racewalking Accomplishments:
Member of the US National Racewalk Team. 20-year competitive career. Won 13 U.S. National Championships. Has walked 20 kilometers in 1:24:29--a 6:46 per-mile pace.
Coaching:
Leads week-long training camps and weekend clinics throughout the United States and Canada since 1991.
(from artist's site) - Dave McGovern, a globe-trotting racewalking coach and a member of the US National Racewalk Team with a master's degree in sport science from the United States Sports Academy.
During my 25-year competitive career I've won 13 U.S. National Championships and have walked 20 kilometers (12.4 miles--one of the two Olympic distances for men) in 1:24:29--a 6:48 per-mile pace--which ranks me as the fastest American ever to not make an Olympic Team. (Onward to 2008!)
To support my racewalking habit, I've been leading week-long training camps and weekend racewalking/marathon walking clinics all over the globe since 1991. Many of my clinic alumni have lost weight, bounced back from heart disease and diabetes, completed marathons, and many have won masters racewalking championships and set age-group world records.
As a private coach, I've had seven of my athletes--all of whom I met at my clinics--qualify for the United States Olympic Track & Field Trials. I also coach the national team of Ghana, West Africa, I'm the National (U.S. and Canada) Coach for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's "Team Challenge" Half-Marathon Walk Team, and I'm one of the two coaches for the U.S. team at the 2008 World Cup of Racewalking in Cheboksary Russia.
In addition to coaching racewalking, I'm a writer for Walk! Magazine, and the author of The Complete Guide to Marathon Walking, The Complete Guide to Racewalking Technique and Training and Precision Walking. I also spend WAY too much time "tweaking" this site--I hope you enjoy my efforts!

All orders purchased here at CurtSheller.com,
JazzGuitarResources.com, UkuleleResources.com
UkuleleChords.net and

are processed using a secure shopping cart system and shipped within 48
hours USPS. Allow 7 to 10 business days for delivery. It is not our
intention to profit from shipping and handling charges. The rates are an
average cost, and intended to cover expenses only. Please do not ask how
long it will takes to get your order. All US orders are shipped USPS
Priority Mail® or USPS First-Class Mail® (under 1lb) and delivery dates
are not predictable. I do not check on an order not received until three
weeks have elapsed since it was shipped. Three weeks is not how long it
takes to get your order. Rather, it is how long it takes to convince us
that something is wrong. Some orders are returned by the USPS and we
have to wait to see if that has happened before any action is taken.
Thanks, Curt Sheller Publications.
