The Sport Tech Ecosystem: Innovation Pathways for Coaches, Scientists, and Entrepreneurs
by Susie Reiner, PhD, CSCS, NSCA-CPT
  • Describe the structure of a sport technology innovation ecosystem and the roles of key stakeholders including entrepreneurs, universities, industry partners, investors, and government
  • Explain how innovation and entrepreneurship capacities influence the development and scaling of sport technologies, from early research through commercial deployment
  • Apply innovation literacy principles to identify opportunities to collaborate with or transition into the sport technology industry as practitioners, researchers, consultants, or founders

Coaching Considerations for the Female Athlete
by Aja Campbell, CSCS
  • Understand key physiological considerations in female athletes, including how menstrual cycle–related hormone fluctuations can influence training response, recovery, and injury risk
  • Identify the signs, risk factors, and performance implications of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) in high school and collegiate athletes
  • Recognize social and socioeconomic influences that may affect female athletes’ access to nutrition, recovery resources, and long-term participation in sport
11:00 AM - 11:50 AM
The Coaches’ Eye: Navigating the Limitations of Modern Programming Through Accurate Identification Of Velocity Loss and Repetitions in Reserve
by Javad Bakhshinejad, MS, CSCS
  • Evaluate the limitations of percentage-based, RPE/RIR-based, and velocity-based programming models when prescribing and monitoring resistance training intensity
  • Differentiate between perceptual estimation of PRIR and PVL, and interpret how load (60–80% 1RM) and exercise selection (squat vs. bench press) influence observational accuracy
  • Apply evidence-based decision-making strategies to determine when visual estimation is sufficient and when objective velocity-tracking technology is warranted in applied coaching environments
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Lunch (provided)
1:10 PM - 2:00 PM
7 Game-Changing Glute Training Tips
by Nick Tumminello, NSCA-CPT

Building A Training System
by Philip Reichhoff, MEd, CSCS, RSCC*D
  • Apply LTAD principles to real-world programming: understand how to translate concepts into practical training decisions that fit the needs of youth and school-based athletes
  • Design a scalable 9-week training template: learn how to build a simple, repeatable training structure that allows coaches to efficiently program for large groups while still allowing for individual adjustments
  • Implement effective set and rep schemes: layer sets, reps, and progressions onto a template to create a complete 9-week program coaches can immediately apply with their athletes
3:10 PM - 4:00 PM
From Data to Decisions: A Practitioner’s Framework for Performance Assessment
by Jamie Pasquin, MS, CPSS, CSCS, RSCC
  • Identify the foundational criteria for selecting performance tests that are valid, reliable, and aligned to the physical demands of your sport population
  • Conduct a contextual audit of your current environment (staff, space, equipment, time, and athlete maturity) to design a system that works within your real-world constraints, not an idealized one
4:00 PM - 4:10 PM
