Attendees will receive a "from the field" style talk on how to establish a high performance model on a budget. The presenters will share a case study that describes how they were able to create the most impact when managing constrained resources.

Learning Objectives:
• Provide a framework for the return to play process that focuses on the transition from training to sport
• 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

This presentation will focus on options we can use to peak athletes for the end of season. Topics discussed will include a traditional peaking strategy, partial ranges of motion, and post-activation potentiation. After discussing some of the options, we will finish the presentation with how to find the best strategy to fit your specific population.

Adding performance technology into the weight-room environment, for many, is still something we work to clearly define by best practice and athlete buy-in. Could we find a way to build-in processes for an improved work flow, athlete-designed, performance pathway?

Learning Objectives:
• Engage attendees in various topics related to optimizing protein intake
• Stimulate discussion about current protein recommendations
• Provide attendees with practical solutions for optimizing muscle tissue in calorie restricted diets

Learning Objectives:
• Describe the nature and pathways of stress in the body
• Identify stressors in and out of the weight room
• Discuss and execute simple methods for stress management

Learning Objectives:
• Build a better understanding and improve your ability to coach, program and execute lower body strength and power exercises in the frontal plane
• Develop sound exercise selection and training program design strategies through critical thinking
• Review and apply practical weight room exercise progressions and regressions

The importance of the proper movement of the scapula and the strength of the muscles that move it are often overlooked in training. Presentation areas of focus are the anatomy of the scapula and the musculature that acts on it, exercises that directly target this musculature, and how it can be implemented in programming.
