Missouri State Clinic / IN-PERSON

This presentation will deal with how the breath can influence the body biomechanically and biochemically at rest and during activity for optimal performance.

Learning Objectives:
• What is it?
• Be able to list different types of resistance tools and pros / cons of each
• Know how to incorporate each tool to overload and train various movements
• Learn how to implement the tools to develop different aspects of the athlete
• What are you looking for when identifying faults and how might you correct them?
• Be familiar with various training methods used to obtain results (contrast vs resisted only vs resistance and release models)

Attendees will get an overview of a comprehensive system that is designed to accommodate and optimize the long-term athletic development of all high school student-athletes from the 5th string incoming freshman to the D1 college recruit. Special attention will be given to the implementation and overarching objectives of the system, as well as detailing utilized assessments, exercise selection, teaching progressions, and periodization.

Learning Objectives:
• Practically discuss key considerations for parents and coaches to best understand fueling needs of high school athletes
• Compare and contrast fueling recommendations for athletes and non-athletes
• Discuss key considerations to achieve optimal carbohydrate and protein intake
• Provide practical recommendations and guidelines to help improve fueling habits and practice

Learning Objectives:
• Identify violations of rucking best practices and select appropriate solutions
• Demonstrate how you would employ kinematic and kinetic measures of rucking to reduce injury risk and improve performance
• Develop ruck training programs for practical fitness and performance

Learning Objectives:
• Selecting the best VBT device for your situation
• Understanding software needs and physical equipment considerations
• Real world implementation to smooth your transition

This session will provide a framework for the return to play process that focuses on the transition from training to sport as well as present a model that utilizes objective feedback to ensure appropriate physical preparedness and a multi-domain approach to address game speed, decision-making abilities and cognitive readiness.
