NSCA Southeast Regional Conference

Movement, Overspeed, Resistance, Reaction. Using the unique and proprietary methodology, the MORR System isolates sports specific, position specific movements and motions, and increases an athletes speed, flexibility, efficiency and explosive power in that movement. Designed to maximize individual results for each athlete, the MORR system does not attempt to alter or improve the mechanics of a specific skill. Instead, the movements of the workout are identical to the movements that the athlete makes during competition in order to directly improve on-field performance. MORR is a proprietary SPORTS PERFORMANCE TRAINING system used by more professional, Olympic and elite level athletes than any other system in the world.

This session will review the methods employed by Cressey Sports Performance to maximize the speed and power of the baseball athlete. Specific examples and the scientific supportive research will be given to demonstrate the rationale behind the training program. Practical Applications will be provided to enable the attendee to determine the best means of inclusion in their own programs.

Attendees will participate in a hands-on session with a variety of Strongman implements. Categories of lifts include: Press, Push, Pull, Carry, Lift, Drag, and Load. Lifts help develop strength in motion applicable to training for function and performance.

This session will cover the 8 Week Summer Training Program for a Division 1 Football program including the strength, power, mobility, and fitness needs based on both sport and positional demands.

Robert will guide you through the detailed progression of successful steps starting with the new personal trainer and building up to the experienced professional. This will include learning to uphold a high level of professionalism, establish standards and good business practices, building a clientele, mastering your craft and the potential of opening and operating your own personal training studio.

With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, coaches can utilize cost-effective advancements in technology to safely assist their athletes with their hopes to gain mass and weight, get stronger, reduce body fat, and have more energy. NutraCarina is the first and only sports nutrition e-learning and analysis web app ever created utilizing the best practices in the field of online learning and teaching. Mike Bewley, Assistant Director of Human Performance and Certified Sports Nutritionist for Georgia Tech Men’s Basketball and Men’s Tennis, created NutraCarina. Through advancement of technology, education, and over 20 years of work-related experience, Bewley built NutraCarina utilizing a three-dimensional framework, focusing on the athlete’s understanding and cognitive processes, and demonstrating skills acquisition with creating and applying a personal nutrition plan. This presentation will demonstrate the use of NutraCarina’s technology, in association with a host of other third-party apps, to improve an athletes eating habits that lead to muscle growth, fat loss, improved strength, and faster recovery.

Coach Bommarito will guide you through the methodology he employs to create specific training and program modifications to increase the performance in the overhead athlete. Practical application and specific examples will be given to the attendee. The concept behind Bommarito Performance System is to provide the latest application methods based on the scientific principles outlined in current research and evidence based practice.

Lunch will be provided onsite. Attendees will be available to network and visit sponsor tables and vendor booths as well as continue to meet and ask questions from the speaker panel.

The Conference attendees be given opportunity to drop questions into a Q/A Box during the morning sessions of the conference.

During the second hour, attendees will be able to meet with individual speakers over a working lunch Q&A period.

This session will provide an overview on what velocity based training is, how to implement it and how to analyze the data. Scientific research will be presented from a practical application perspective. Specific examples will be given to demonstrate how VBT can lead to a greater transfer of training for the athlete.

As Science and Technology move forward, so too should our understanding of how we select exercises and their acute variables. In this interactive hands-on session, we will take an in-depth look at functional anatomy and biomechanics in a dramatic new way. We will utilize Myofascial Lines (Front/Back Functional Lines, Superficial Front/Back Lines, Lateral Lines, Spiral Lines, etc.) to gain a more thorough understanding of how these myofascial tissues function to produce, reduce and stabilize forces that are transmitted through our bodies. Attendees will leave this session armed with a systematic and progressive approach that will provide them with thousands of exercise programs that they can begin applying immediately with their clients.

This presentation will go over the basics of Barefoot Training and how small nerve activation in the foot leads to pre-activation of the core musculature. The implementation of Barefoot Training can help the practitioner assess movement dysfunction within the kinetic chain.

In this presentation the speaker will reflect on his 45 years of coaching from the point of view of a generalist. Being a generalist has enabled Coach Gambetta to make connections between disciples to more effectively build and rebuild complete athletes, based on practice based evidence and always focusing on the possibilities.
