Hierarchy of Recovery in High School Athletes; Priorities and Implementation Strategies by Mike Lane

OVERVIEW: As a strength and conditioning coach, you’ve likely been asked about trendy recovery methods like cryo chambers, saunas, or compression therapy. While these tools have their place, they pale in comparison to the foundational pillars of recovery: sleep, nutrition, and stress management.

This must-attend presentation cuts through the noise and provides a clear roadmap to help your athletes maximize their recovery and reach their performance goals.

What you’ll gain:

  • The Truth About Recovery Fads: Understand where cryo chambers and saunas fit in the recovery hierarchy—and why they should never replace the basics.
  • Master the Hierarchy of Recovery: Learn to prioritize what matters most—like proper sleep, hydration, and balanced nutrition—so your athletes recover faster and perform better.
  • Actionable Implementation Strategies: Leave with practical tools to help your athletes incorporate recovery practices into their daily routines.

Whether you’re working with beginner athletes or seasoned competitors, this presentation will empower you to elevate their recovery game and unlock their full potential.

10:30-11:45 am – LECTURE
Unconventional Methods to Manipulate Anaerobic Endurance by Kyle Feldman

OVERVIEW: In strength and conditioning, conventional methods like speed and agility days often dominate conditioning programs. But with more than 90% of sports relying heavily on anaerobic endurance, is there more we can do to optimize performance?

This presentation introduces an innovative approach to anaerobic conditioning, showcasing a modified test originally designed for soccer that can be adapted to benefit athletes across multiple sports.

What you’ll gain:

  • Beyond the basics: Explore an unconventional yet highly effective method to enhance anaerobic endurance for any sport.
  • Practical application: Learn how to incorporate this anaerobic conditioning tool into your existing training program.
  • Maximize performance: Gain insights into how this strategy can complement traditional speed and agility days for well-rounded athletic development.

This isn’t just another drill—it’s a proven, versatile tool to add to your coaching toolbox and elevate your athletes’ conditioning.

11:45-12:40 pm – LUNCH PROVIDED

More Than a Meal, It’s a Networking Opportunity: Lunch at the NHSSCA Clinic is not just about grabbing a plate and catching up with your usual circle. It’s a chance to collaborate, share, and expand your professional network. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just stepping into the field of high school strength and conditioning, this is your moment to connect with coaches who inspire, mentor, and challenge you to grow.

If you leave this clinic without making at least one new connection, you’ve missed an incredible opportunity to grow professionally and personally. The NHSSCA is more than an organization—it’s a #FAMILY, built on shared knowledge, support, and a commitment to making each other better.

So, don’t just eat—engage, listen, and learn. The people sitting around you might change how you approach coaching forever. Let’s make this lunch one to remember! #NHSSCA #FAMILY #CoachingConnections #GrowYourNetwork
