Posted on 2:08pm Thursday 19th Apr 2012 Listed under: Peter Hodges, author of 'Hodges' Model' wrote to me some years ago letting me know about this. At that time I was in the middle of a hectic period of training commitments and so I didn't give it the attention it deserved. Today I rectified that. Having spent some time looking at the model today I think it's well worth a look and so i'm posting a link to the model here. Check it out. Cheers, Stuart |
