Idaho State Clinic

• Develop a professional identity rooted in self-awareness and intentional habits
• Strengthen performance through kindness, humility, and consistent leadership
• Audit your blind spots to improve collaboration and high-pressure communication
• Apply base principles of observation, reflection, and intentionality to define who you want to be in every room you enter

• Evaluate the quality and applicability of current scientific evidence on resistance training variables (load, volume, frequency, proximity to failure) to determine their relative contributions to muscle hypertrophy and strength
• Differentiate among nutritional strategies, particularly optimal protein intake, distribution, and source quality, and integrate these concepts to design effective dietary plans that support muscle growth across diverse populations
• Synthesize training and nutrition evidence to formulate practical, individualized recommendations for maximizing hypertrophy and strength while acknowledging common misconceptions and limitations in the existing literature

• Develop practical high-performance analysis frameworks
• Integrate technology and sport science tools
• Enhance communication and decision-making

This talk explores the broader physiological and performance factors required to build and maintain muscle in athletes and high performers. Attendees will learn how total energy availability, carbohydrate intake, training stimulus, recovery capacity, and targeted supplementation work together with protein to create an anabolic setting.

Grounded in sport science and practical performance nutrition, this talk equips coaches and practitioners with a systems-based approach to muscle development that goes beyond macros and into the realities of training stress, lifestyle load, and recovery.

Speed is more than just running fast—it’s the product of coordinated force production, efficient movement strategies, and resilient tissue systems. This presentation explores a modern, systems-based framework for understanding sprint performance through the lens of projection, switching, and reactivity. Attendees will gain practical insight into how mechanical outputs, muscular contributions, and tissue health interact to influence acceleration and maximal velocity. By connecting biomechanics, strength qualities, and sprint exposure, this session equips coaches and practitioners with practical tools to better assess, train, and individualize speed development across a wide range of athletes.

• Understand how coaching strategies evolve with training age and skill level
• Apply intelligent programming and load management beyond fixed percentages
• Differentiate general vs. competition-specific preparation
• Track progress using both numbers and qualitative feedback

• Provoke thought on what the exact role of an S&C Coach is
• Provoke thought about all methods (conventional/outside the box) we can maximizeimpact as strength and conditioning coaches
• Learn how to maximize impact at the group and individual level in the tactical space,compare/contrast to collegiate and private sector
• Provide insight into what work in the tactical space entails

Attendees will learn the most recent evidence-based recommendations, exercise guidelines, and screening tools for clients who are pregnant, postpartum, or menopausal. The session will include program design, training principles, coaching cues, exercise considerations and contraindications as they pertain to these clients during each unique phase in their lives.
