In this presentation, Michelle is going to provide you with practical strate- gies 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, we just need to create exer- cises that make them feel successful and safely promote intensity.

Almost 10 years later, it’s time to again discuss why we do the things we do at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. The “whys” are always controversial, but it’s important to discuss why we foam roll, why we static stretch and why we choose one exercise over another. Get a look at MBSC’s Big Rocks in the next generation of Start With Why.

There are training practices that will likely fit any one person’s particular needs somewhat better than another. However, it’s understood that the human body can respond positively to a wide variety of appropriate stimuli. If true, then you and your competitors will create, to some degree, successful physical outcomes for clients. So why would a person choose to remain with your business when similar outcomes might be achieved elsewhere? Anchoring your business to best-in-class service and hospitality is one of the few ways in which you can reliably create a competitive difference. Learn the principles, strategies, and techniques to intentionally deliver a truly differentiated service that is often the undiscov- ered lifeblood of your future success. (Lecture Only) ( Chicago )

Embrace the changing times or risk falling behind. As the concept of lon- gevity gains prominence, an array of wearable technologies will play a pivotal role in reshaping the fitness landscape. Your role as a coach will expand beyond the traditional assessment of body composition to en- compass the holistic analysis of a client’s overall health profile. Integrat- ing AI into your coaching practices will prove indispensable in facilitating seamless communication, optimizing appointment booking, and crafting targeted advertisements. Join Travis as he explores The Future of Fit- ness. You will walk away with strategies and tactics that you can immedi- ately deploy to improve your personal and professional life. (Lecture Only) The Art of Human Connection There is more to coaching than coaching. It’s not enough to design pro- gramming that gets results. In this session we are going beyond sci- ence and exploring the art of making clients happy and establishing hu- man connection. (Hands-On Only) ( Orlando, Providence ) JESSICA BENTO, MSPT • Director of Operations for Innovative Fitness Solutions & Ultimate Sandbag Training • Heads up the educational programs for Dynamic Variable Resistance Training • Has worked in every aspect of Physical Therapy, including Sports Rehab, In-Patient Neuro and Geriatric Populations for close to 20 years Beyond the Rotator Cuff: New Methods of Shoulder Health & Performance Shoulder injuries are far more common than many would believe. How- ever, research has explained, “After low back pain and knee pain, shoul- der pain has been estimated to be the third most common musculoskel- etal presentation in primary care.” In addition to pain, functional disabili- ties are common and can interfere with work, social, and sporting activi- ties and may also be associated with reduced quality of life. This session is designed to help coaches and therapists look beyond the old ideas of isolating muscles and use current research to better understand how to restore and train the shoulder for optimal health and performance.
