Guiding Skill Adaptation – Hands On | Tyler Yearby 
Are you looking for an approach that helps facilitate on-field athletic performance? A framework will be presented to help you better understand how to develop agility activities that provide athletes with more ownership of their movements. This undoubtedly will help them become more effective at solving ever-changing sporting problems. A practical portion will demonstrate how to develop a learner-centered approach that will produce more dynamic and creative movers!

Bought In: Engineering Outcomes Via Behavioral Based Approach | Brett Bartholomew 
The success of an attempt to influence the attitudes and behaviors of others largely depends on the specific type(s) of behavior used to exert influence. Additionally, social, environmental and psychological variables which underpin their reactions and perceptions are also major factors. Coaching- at its heart- is a social endeavor that is less about "acts and facts" and more about understanding the nuances of what drives those we are trying to lead in a common direction. This talk will explore many of these variables along with sharing practical science-backed strategies for how coaches can better adapt to any situation that may arise through the inherently unpredictable realm of human performance.

Navigating the ACL Rehab Process with a Sports Performance Perspective: A Constraints Led Approach | Julie Eibensteiner

Unfortunately, ACL injuries are all too common in today’s sporting environment. With that in mind, this talk will create an understanding of the current ACL epidemic as well as provide effective strategies to decrease injury risk. For those who may work with injured or previously injured athletes, practical rehab strategies for a movement solution-based approach that accounts for the individual athlete, the environment, and the task will be explored.

Leaps, Landings and Lunacy: A Strategic Overview of Plyometrics – Hands On | Brett Bartholomew  
"Transfer" is a term that many of us hear thrown around in the performance realm despite the fact that it can be one of the most difficult constructs for us to truly define and quantify. Plyometrics have proven themselves to be a reliable mainstay in that regard and their strategic use helps our athletes not only move more efficiently but also more effectively. This presentation will pay homage to the history of plyometrics, while also including hands-on, practical strategies that can be deployed by the strength and conditioning professional regardless of the resources or time available. Progressions, regressions and transitions will be covered, as well as detailing which are believed to be most effective based on your athletes’ needs and the time of year.

3:20 – 4:20 pm

Additionally, practical applications and strategies for how to implement sports science technology in any setting will be provided.
