Indiana State Clinic

• Why it is important to regularly assess your athletes
• What assessments can you use to track your high school athletes progress
• How these assessments can guide your programming for high school athletes

• Mindful breathing - what is it and how does it work
• Importance of having a breath practice
• How your breathing can influence your performance, situational awareness, and recovery

• Present the current literature on the quantified workload of occupational career firefighters
• Discuss the influence of an interval-based resistance training program on such workload
• Provide key points and updated strategies for strength and conditioning professionals to utilize when seeking to better prepare firefighters

Due to the unique scheduling demands (doubleheaders, mid-week games, tournaments) and changes due to weather, it can often be challenging to structure effective in-season strength and conditioning for baseball and softball athletes. The goal during this time period is to maintain the athletes' strength and power by eliciting the maximum effectiveness of training with the minimum dosage. Therefore, narrowing the focus of the training prescription to five main pillars (1. mobility 2. rotational power 3. sprint training 4. total body strength and power maintenance 5. shoulder care) and providing the athletes with the autonomy to select the exercise that best fits their current state of readiness is imperative.

• The current state of athlete participation and development in youth sports
• A proposed model to prioritize movement efficiency over sport proficiency
• Goal outcomes and implementation steps with this model

For this hands-on lecture, I would like to go through our procedures for introduction of APC to our rookies (middle schoolers, freshmen, and any other 10-12 graders). This will include the block 0 program, explanation, and demonstration of the basic movements to integrate them into the class, after school, or summer programs. The movements include: warm-up, pistol squats, push-ups, overhead deep squats (FMS), pull-ups, deadlifts (power clean progressions), front squat (different squat variations), RDL, and bench press.

• Identify benefits of creatine supplementation
• Identify benefits of caffeine supplementation
• Analyze the interaction between creatine and caffeine when used together

• Understand the concept and implementation of "Conditioning through means of the weight room"
  • Wenning Warmup + Microdosing // EMOM, AMRAP, AFSAP, MET-CON
• Demonstrate the most efficient exercises (and their variations) that produce a high yield in training
  • Deadlifts, overhead press, rows, chin ups, carry exercises, hips & core
• Provide opportunities for students to partake in short bouts of exercises - applying the content

• Define bodybuilding workouts
• Discuss common injuries with these types of programs
• Describe different work-arounds and corrections to prevent, help train through, and rehab injury

The objective of this presentation is to explain how we built an athletic performance program from the ground up. 

• Learn how to build and design a fueling station
• Learn the basic sports nutrition principles for fueling athletes before, during and after exercise
• Participants will review a sample budget, equipment, and supplies for a fueling station
• Participants will be able to develop a food supply list for pre, during and recovery nutrition

This session will explain How to create a model of periodization/programming/progression no matter the sport/hours/playing schedule that addresses the needs of both the athlete and coaches.

• Distinguish essential functions of the athletic spine
• Program a semester of core training using principles of the core curriculum™

• Introduce PNF stretching and the science behind it
• Introduce the idea of assisted stretching
• Give hands-on examples of combining assisted and PNF stretching
• Give a basic layout of stretches to take home to help athletes and clients regardless of their goals
