The way we arrange, orient, and subsequently produce force through different aspects of our body during this forward locomotion relies on some foundational capabilities. Grounding requires aligned compression of each side of the body and is dependent on the ability to create rotational, downward forces into the surface below and then be able to sense ground reaction forces back up into the body. This lecture will go into details about some of the important aspects that is often not appreciated as it relates to these aspects of human performance, as well as some observations, assessments and interventions that can produce immediate, appreciable changes in this grounding sense. The hands-on will go deeper into specific assessments and activities that can be easily performed with profound results along with applications specific to rehab and training programming. Long Beach

Our personal stories, along with pain, discomfort, and obstacles, act as beacons, guiding us toward greater awareness and choice—the foundations of authentic change. Recognizing fitness as a form of self-care rather than mere work empowers growth rooted in integrity. As coaches, we are entrusted to create a safe, nonjudgmental space that embraces life’s messiness without aiming to “fix” it. By prioritizing curiosity and openness, we cultivate genuine relationships that support vulnerability, authenticity, and the real possibility in coaching of meaningful lasting transformation. (Lecture Only) Bend, Bounce, Breathe, and Balance: The Playful Path to Authentic Transformation This hands-on underscores that the best coaches master the fundamentals while embracing a playful approach. Coaches who cultivate a curious and compassionate environment nurture relationships that inspire lasting change. Participants will revisit the “B’s” of movement— bending, bouncing, breathing, and balancing—learning to identify asymmetries, pain, or limited range of motion as invaluable indicators for improvement. By focusing on awareness instead of judgment, we unlock each individual’s potential for becoming their strongest, most authentic self. Integrating insights from “Radiant Renewal,” this session emphasizes how transformation arises through self-reflec- tion, curiosity, and genuine connection, establishing a solid foundation for meaningful, lifelong growth in both fitness and personal development.
