The 5th annual Performance Clinic features human performance experts sharing cutting-edge information for professionals in strength and conditioning, personal training, physical therapy, coaching, physical education and others who work with performance athletes and active populations. Take away relevant strategies to effectively motivate and enhance their performance.
New to this year is the option to join us live through a virtual broadcast! While we highly encourage everyone to join us in person, as it greatly enhances your ability to network with other professionals in the field, we understand that this may not always be a viable option. Simply select the option you prefer during registration.
