2026 3-DAY FUNCTIONAL TRAINING SUMMIT CHARLIE WEINGROFF DPT, ATC, CSCS •World Renowned Physical Therapist and Performance Coach •Director of Physical Performance, Men’s Canadian National Basketball Team •Former Strength & Conditioning Coach, Philadelphia 76ers, NBA •Creator of Training = Rehab continuing education and mentorship model •Solopreneur Business Consultant One Framework, Every Skill: The Puzzle Of How We Move All of our efforts in rehabilitation and fitness are geared towards using movements that deliver the results we are searching for. While those results are typically simple to measure - fat loss, biomechanics, wins & losses - it’s still very challenging to claim perfection. Learning to train these move- ments or skills lend to all aspects of fundamentals, training, and complex sport skills. Teaching movements can link skill coaches, health care providers, fitness coaches, and sport sci- ence analysts where all can contribute to Motor Skill Acquisi- tion within the same framework. Long Beach, Providence NICK WINKELMAN PHD, XPS, CSCS*D •Head of Athletic Performance & Science at the Irish Rugby Football Union •Author of The Language of Coaching: The Art & Science of Teaching Movement •Former Director of Training Systems & Education at EXOS The Language of Coaching 2.0 We often think of coaching from the coaches perspective. We put the responsibility of knowing what to say and when to say it strictly on the coach’s shoulders. But what if we flipped this and looked at the athlete as the source of in- spiration? What if we got the athlete to identify their own coaching cues and, in doing so, a better understanding of their body and how it moves. In this presentation, we will ex- plore how coaches can help inspire athletes to identify their own mental solutions for the movement problems they face. Providence
