New Mexico State Clinic / IN-PERSON

It takes a village. Coaches and practitioners in the health and performance space should actively work to fill gaps in their capabilities with a network of reliable professionals. From personal trainers who primarily outsource to Division 1 athletic programs who employ most of their assets under one roof, all health and performance initiatives can maximize potential support for their clients and athletes by learning how to assemble and operate a collective team. This presentation shows you how.

Lecture Objectives:
• Introduction to biomechanics of discussed drills
• Acceleration: 4 P's, introduction to drills, program implementation
• Change of Direction: 4 B's, introduction to drills, program implementation
Practical Objectives:
• Allow coaches to put foundations into practice
• Active participation is greatly encouraged, be prepared to move (i.e. wear proper footwear/clothing)

This presentation will outline and demonstrate how to create an introductory strength program using the conjugate method. This will include, but not limited to, using accommodating resistance (if/if not available).  We will also use the fundamental components of the conjugate method to create and apply a training program for all athletes (beginner-professional).

This session will include an overview of how macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration can improve performance and how to eat/hydrate before, during, and after training for optimal performance, while also factoring in sleep, stress, environmental factors, and dietary supplementation.

Lecture Objectives:
• Define 'training to failure' and identify if it is necessary for long-term hypertrophic, strength, and power adaptations
• Explain what can be gleaned from 'velocity loss' studies and compare/contrast velocity loss to the ratings of perceived exertion and repetitions in reserve scales
• Provide several tools for practical application; specifically set reconfiguration strategies to mitigate fatigue while maintaining training volume
