Thoughout this presentation I will speak on what I believe the 4 key steps are to build a championship culture in the weight room, but can also extend out beyond those four walls. While explaining these four steps to builidng a culture I will speak on my own experiences over the last decade to help relate to other members in the audience that may be outside of the college/team sports setting.

This session will include how to use sports nutrition, testing & supplementation to customize your training programs for MAXimum success.  This includes athletes as young as 11yo to elite!

The objective of this presentation is to demystify the process of athlete testing and monitoring by reviewing sound data collection, analysis and interpretation procedures.

Learning Objectives:

• Compare and contrast current models of managing low back pain
• Discuss the role pain plays on motivation, performance, and motor control
• Explain the influence of psychosocial factors on physical funtioning in a person with LBP

Yes, we will talk about the way we move weights. Yes, we will talk about how we program and move down a track or on a field. But we will also hit on how we move our student-athletes from a relationship-building angle. Moving weights and moving fast are important, but they are inconsequential to the way we move our kids emotionally. It is an integral part of what we do, and it is one of the things that people who visit us note upon leaving. Plus, culture is a topic we enjoy talking about. We love hearing about how coaches are intentional about building relationships within the framework of their program(s) and hope this leads to an enlightening Q & A session at the end.
