Dehydration is your silent opponent. The harder your players push, the more they sweat. The more they sweat, the more water escapes their body, and with it goes speed, power and performance.

Jumps, bounds, hops, and their subvariations (skips, leaps, and ricochets) are all ways to maximize the ability to negotiate the ground and transfer forces effectively in athletic applications.
Stacey Torman, director of athletic performance for Olympic sports at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, has spent more than 25 years teaching athletes how to improve athletically. Her hope is that coaches across the board can also focus on helping them be the best person they can be, as well.
Mental conditioning is broken down into five skill categories: learning to think right, engaging in positive self-talk, reaching optimal arousal, concentrating, and displaying confidence.
Strength coaches hear it all the time from position coaches. On-field drills must translate well to game day. The same is true of the weight room. That’s why Scott Sinclair, MSCC, director of strength and conditioning for the University of Georgia football program, believes in squatting heavy and regularly.
In addition to great speakers and activities, a key part of the conference each year is a large, dynamic exhibit hall, showcasing the latest products and services in strength training, conditioning, speed & power development, sports nutrition, recovery, strength & conditioning technology, and more. We strongly encourage conference attendees to visit all exhibit booths, but especially those of our generous partnering sponsors
