Virtual Workshops

Coaches, join us for a virtual workshop where our staff will share general knowledge gained over our careers from certification programs, continuing education, workshops and mentorships. Our goal is provide you guidelines and concepts you can apply to your settings and athletes, while answering specific questions you might have. The information presented is meant to convey a framework that our staff approaches when planning a season, a training block or a workout.
