With thousands of PubMed-indexed studies, creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective supplements available. Discover how it works, the science behind its benefits for performance, recovery, brain health, and healthy aging, and why emerging research is changing the way we think about creatine. 

This presentation will review testing techniques, comprehension of data output, and implementation of training models for athletic performance. With the prevalence of athletic teams and organizations utilizing portable technology, it is imperative that health care professionals and coaching staff understand what metrics are being assessed, and how to program accordingly.

Participants will actively explore how to develop fluid multi-directional movement, improve reactive decision-making, and mitigate lower-extremity injury risks. By the end of this interactive session, attendees will be able to deconstruct foundational movement mechanics to identify and correct inefficient change-of-direction patterns, program progressive agility and reaction drills that safely scale from general population to high-level athletes, apply targeted coaching cues and reactive pressure-loading to help clients and athletes execute precise movement patterns in chaotic environments.

"Cycle Syncing" workouts have grown in popularity online, but drawn heavy criticism from some researchers. This session will discuss what the science says about female physiology in regard to training and physical performance, what we still don't know, and how to connect scientific and applied knowledge to best serve our female athletes.

• Identify key similarities and differences between collegiate athletic and tactical performance environments
• Describe coaching skills that transfer effectively to tactical populations and common challenges encountered during the transition
• Apply practical strategies for building credibility, integrating within multidisciplinary teams, and succeeding in tactical performance settings

Attendees will experience firsthand how to seamlessly blend mobility, nervous system activation, and multi-directional speed drills into an efficient pre-training routine. Come ready to move, coach, and learn a plug-and-play framework that reduces injury risk and ensures your basketball athletes take the court primed for peak output.
