OBJECTIVES: - Acknowledge the fundamental differences between a traditional 3 sport (per year) athlete and the multi-sport/same season athlete that we are encountering more these days - Discuss the use of "sport specific" training in regards to an athlete who may play different sports at the same time, and what "sport specific" may mean in that case - How to design and implement a safe and effective short and long term program that allows the multi-sport athlete to both physiologically and psychologically develop

OBJECTIVES: -Why to measure velocity during exercises -When to use mean velocity or peak velocity for different exercises -Why to use it for augmented feedback, and as a source of monitoring, relationship to fatigue, and testing -Why to use velocity in programming, to aid coaching decisions, and improve training outcomes

In this seminar, I will introduced participants to basic terminology, positions, teaching progressions for the snatch and the jerk. In the snatch, I will emphasize working from the hip and the knee. For the jerk, I will review different jerk styles and emphasize the split jerk. By the end of the seminar, participants will have a basic working knowledge of the mechanics of these movements, how best to teach them, as well as some basic cues to assist in error correction.

Disseminate current literature and background on how the neck plays a role in neck pain, concussion prevention, injury prevention and how easily it can be trained. This topic is meaningful from youth to older adults, and for athletes and non-athletes. Currently there is either misinformation, or a complete lack of knowledge/importance allocated to the neck in mainstream training and rehabilitation practices.

OBJECTIVES: -Brief overview of key principles and topics related to the TSAC-F certification -Sharing experiences and current fitness activities from local police forces -Special Considerations when training Tactical Athletes -Physical Testing as an employment requirement
