8:30 AM - 9:30 AM Developing the Court Sport Athlete by Mike Snowden, MEd, CSCS, RSCC This session takes a deep dive into the athlete development system used at HPS, with a focus on court sport performance. We’ll break down the full training structure — from movement progressions and loading strategies to how we use technology to guide programming and monitor readiness. Attendees will gain a practical framework for applying these concepts to their own training environments. |
|
9:30 AM - 10:30 AM Hydration Under Pressure: Strategies for Athletes and First Responders by Megan Lautz, MS, RD, CSCS, TSAC-F This session dives into practical, evidence-based hydration strategies that actually work in high-stress, high-sweat environments. You’ll learn how to hydrate effectively before, during, and after exertion, whether it's a fireground operation, a training academy, or game day. We’ll also tackle how to choose the right electrolyte products to support recovery and reduce risk for dehydration-related injuries, sudden cardiac events, and mental fatigue. |

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Autoregulation in Long-Term Athletic Development: Meeting Athletes Where They Are by Phil Reichhoff, MEd, CSCS, RSCC*D In this presentation Coach Phil will discuss how to program workouts for high school athletes who are constantly growing and maturing using best practices, how he created a multi-level training system that is saleable and adaptable. The presentation will include program examples and templates. |

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM Systems-Based Training: Applying Systems Thinking and Ethical Social Engineering in Strength & Conditioning by Angelo James, MS, CSCS Through real-world examples and lived systems, this session will explore how feedback loops, structured freedom, and intentional culture design can transform training sessions into living systems that teach, respond, and evolve over time. Attendees will leave with tools to align their program design, communication strategies, and team environments with the same systems principles that drive peak performance and long-term growth. |
|
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM Beyond Age: Coaching Through Growth and Maturation by Kyle Leppert, MA, CSCS Youth athletes aren’t just “small adults.” This session equips strength and conditioning coaches with evidence-based strategies to navigate the complexities of adolescent growth, maturation, and training readiness.
