Agility In Motion video
services, was founded early 2002 by Fernando Spadaro and Silvina
Bruera as a way for Fernando
to share the 'Agility' experience with his wife
Silvina. Fernando has a strong background on
performance sports, and believes video and its
applications are key elements for enhancing
performance.
Guided by a spirit of
innovation, Agility In Motion introduced a new
concept in training aid: the Agility VideoZine
Training Series in 2003, which received 2
nominations from the Dog Writers Association
of America for Excellence in the category of
Videotape/CD/DVD. In 2007 Fernando designed
and produced a portable and wireless timing
system by Silvina specifications to aid her
in her training, it was named "Wi-Chrono"
and was made available to the public in
2008.
What started as a weekend
family fun, is now Silvina's full
time job and her way to give back to the
sport of Agility. Dog lover all her life,
Silvina got involved in Agility in 1997. She
competed in Argentina and Uruguay until the
year 2000 when the family moved to
California. Silvina represented FCA/Argentina
at FCI World Championships and "Las Americas
y El Caribe" competitions multiple times
from 2002 to 2009. In 2010 she was selected
to represent the AKC/USA at FCI WC.
