• President of the NSCA • Emeritus Professor of Strength and Conditioning • Former professional rugby player with nearly 40 years of coaching experience • Recognized as one of the United Kingdom’s leading strength and conditioning coaches and worldwide authority on speed and agility development • Author of numerous books including Gamespeed, Effective Coaching in Strength & Conditioning and The Warm-Up Building Tomorrow’s Athletes – Real World Application of Athletic Development Athleticism is the elusive quality that lies at the heart of success in most sports and something every athlete is chasing. As a result, for any individual or organisation working with development athletes, having systems and structures in place that develop this elusive quality should be essential. Over the recent past the concept of long-term athlete development (LTAD) has been promoted as the means by which to build athleticism. Yet the actual impact of LTAD is sketchy, and there remains a disconnect between the theory of LTAD and the needs of athletes and organisations. This session will outline some of the challenges of current thinking and outline simple, but effective, structures that can be utilised across multiple scenarios and contexts. Providence JUSTIN KEGLEY CSCS, CFSC • Performance Coach, Speaker and Author • Founder and Co-Owner of Movement Fitness, a Personal Training and Sports Performance Facility in Rockford, IL • Spent the last decade focusing on Coaching Female Athletes to Maximize Performance, Reducing ACL Injuries and Building Unshakeable Confidence The Art & Science of Training The Complete Female Athlete With the rapid growth of women’s sports, female athletes have more opportunities than ever. However, many still lack proper training, programming, and support to reach their full potential. Too many are not strength training, following structured programs, or receiving proper guidance on nutrition, recovery, and mindset. As coaches, we must do more. Beyond improving performance and reducing injury risk, we must help female athletes develop confidence, navigate hormones, address body image concerns, and build habits to succeed on the field or court and off. In this talk, Justin will break down how to coach with empathy without lowering standards, ensuring female athletes are challenged, supported, and fully prepared to compete at their highest level.
