Game Speed and Small-Sided Games by Mark Hoover.

OVERVIEW: It’s impossible to train athletes for optimal performance without looking at the unlimited variables they will be asked to overcome. Each one has a unique problem to solve. While we can’t possibly predict nor train for every variable on the field or court, we can provide a wide range of possible movement problems and give the athlete’s brain a chance to practice those solutions. Using multiple ways to change direction, in the most optimal manner combined with an ever-increasing complexity of games will prepare athletes for optimal movement solutions.

Diversity and Culture in S&C by John Estock

OVERVIEW: This presentation will explore the concepts of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and how they fit within the community and culture-building framework. Even before a training session begins, an athlete’s motivation and buy-in are engaged through the environment they are walking into. Building empathy and understanding are a pathway to trust, which is a crucial component of building relationships. Positive and healthy relationships are the foundation of a strong culture. This lecture will dive into those principles and how they apply to today’s Strength and Conditioning environment.
