Hal Chernoff , Coach of the Main St Gym was chosen to go to Colorado Springs to help develop a new system of bringing the best out of the organization athletes. "It is an attempt to improve the USA Boxing's system and make sure that we perform at the highest level and in turn bring home some hardware at the 2012 Olympics in London" Chernoff said.. 35 of the counties most experienced coaches as well as 2004 boxing gold medalist Andre Ward and 3 of the 2008 Olympians were flown in to the Olympic Training Center for a two day think tank and an exchange of ideas to improve the present system. It was due to the disappointing performance of the USA's outcome in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China that USA Boxing decided to get back to the drawing board and use the resources of the coaches that have turned out the highest caliber of boxers, something they have not done in the past. Chernoff added "It's is an honor to be chosen, but more importantly, it gives me a chance to help the sport that I have dedicated a big part of my life to. In the end this can help all the kids involved with the sport around the country".
