Learning Objectives:
• What athletes' definitions of success are
• Why athletes' definitions of success shapes their training effort, anxiety levels, and performance outcomes
• How strength and conditioning coaches can influence athletes' definitions of success to optimize their motivation and performance

One of the most important factors of an athlete’s diet is their overall energy intake. Unfortunately, identifying appropriate calorie targets can be difficult. Estimation equations are prone to considerable error, and energy expenditure fluctuates in response to energy consumption (metabolic adaptation) and changes in physical activity level (exercise energy compensation). This presentation will cover how to effectively estimate and adjust energy needs for athletes, with a focus on practical application.

First responders are confronted with unique demands that threaten occupational performance and safety. A comprehensive set of countermeasures are required to prepare for these demands. This presentation will identify critical occupational demands and discuss unique methods for enhancing First Responders’ readiness.

This session will give hands on experience as to how to perform partner based exercises and then application in to a program specifically that has limited access to equipment to still help improve your athlete's performance and injury resistance.

Many strength and conditioning programs at the high school level lack funding, but are expected to produce results regardless. This lecture will be aimed towards giving coaches new tools and options to add to their training program when there are a lack of resources available, but also how to tap into adding more resources over time to assist their program.
