How To Train Your Gen Pop Clients Like Athletes
How can you get your gen pop clients moving like athletes? There is typically a large learning curve for your gen pop clients who have no sport or training history, so getting them to move athletically can be a challenge. In this presentation, Michelle is going to provide you with practical strategies for how to incorporate change of direction drills without sprinting, how to add agility without ladders, and how to add Olympic lifts without barbells. We can get people moving better and feeling better, we just need to create exercises that make them feel successful and safely promote intensity.

Managing Pain Through Better Exercise and Movement Decisions
Are you making the right choice at the right time? First, you need the right information, and that comes from asking the right questions. In this session, Lee Burton and Gray Cook take exercise decisions back to the very basics of health and wellness. The future of health and fitness depends on our ability to measure wellness using functional standards. But how do we do that? Lee and Gray look at eight domains of wellness to properly answer the question “what should I work on today?” You will learn how to structure screening to focus on your (or your client’s) greatest opportunities in the domains of Breathing Quality, Sleep Quality, Nutritional Awareness, Movement Health, Behavioral Health, Physical Activity, Body Composition and Injury History. This holistic view, with the addition of the FMS-developed algorithm, will prevent you from getting the first step wrong when seeking any corrective actions or development endeavors.

5 Fitness Facts That Could Save Your Life
The Personal Trainer is the front-line health care practitioner. As a coach, you have more contact and influence on the long-term health of your clients than any other medical professional.

Unlocking Fat Loss: Training Strategies for the Body Composition Client
Obesity is at all all-time high. Over 70% of the US population is overweight and about 40% of those individuals are considered obese.

In this session, Alwyn will explain what the science and research tell us about fat loss.

Preparing the Complete Female Athlete
Training the complete female athlete is more than just periodization and progressions. Our goal should be to build resilient athletes that are strong physically and mentally. To reduce the risk of injury and play to the highest capability, we must develop speed, power, strength and conditioning. We also need to develop the female athlete as a whole and help them understand how their habits affect performance on the field or court. The environment and expectations we create as coaches is critical. Even though female athletes participation in sports has substantially increased over the last 50 years, there is still a gap in training for these athletes. We must not only train female athletes well, but create an environment that is welcoming to their friends and teammates. In this presentation, Justin will talk through the 5 factors critical to developing an unshakeable confidence in the complete female athlete.

The 3 Secret Factors to Strong and Resilient Training & Rehab
Day in and day out, every coach and therapist is looking for way to be better in how they help other people. It’s always a great place to start with global perspectives that govern how we adapt, how we change, how we improve. Words like Mobility, Stability, Strength, Endurance are often the big words that we are always after. However, all of these goals have concepts that expand on the reasons and explanations how why they work and how we can make them even better. In this talk, Charlie will focus primarily on the soft tissues of the body - muscle, tendons, ligaments, nerves, vessels, and fascia. The 3 factors that are shared across all of these tissues are 1) Direction of Force, 2) Pressurization, and 3) Hydraulics. We will discuss these factors of physics in very practicals terms and demonstrations leading to how they enhance all of the adaptations these tissues are involved in. As always, Charlie’s messages are directed for both coaches and therapists working in situations of sport, generally population, rehab.
