I oversee all things group exercise, including the instructors, schedules, and equipment at four locations. My favorite flavor is Orange, but I'll drink all the flavors! My choice of an athlete would be Michael Phelps. I was a competitive swimmer and he won a few races, so its close...right! :) My choice of a non-athlete , would be Taylor Swift.  She's so cool and strong as a woman and a person Another Texas based professional! I am 4 hours west of you in San Angelo but often get over to DFW for trips, work, friends, family events. I love DFW!

Hello all, I am and Sports Performance Coach based out of Eastchester NY and I live in NYC. I know that the strength and conditioning profession is not as popular in NYC and continuing Ed can be expensive. I've been testing and studying video from the athletes Ive worked with as well compiling many continuing education courses from top experts in the speed field. I am happy to help understand the nuance of programming, testing, and cueing when it comes to the qualitative experience that is proper speed training. If enough new coaches respond i'd be happy to run a free speed clinic. What i get out of it is more footage and beta test my performance systems. What you get is an expedited, nuanced, and experience with speed work for team athletes in NYC. please feel free to reach out to rogercorcino@gmail.com

Hi all! Seeking a strength coach/gym recommendation near Driggs, Idaho. I have a youth client who will be there in the summer for an internship program and could potentially use some assistance with the training/programming side of things to keep him in check. Any recs would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi all. My name is Mohammed and I conduct research on biomarkers (genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) on people, primarily in pharma clinical trials. However, I'm looking for folks who are interested in collaborating on a biomarker project for athletes, whereby I would like to deploy TimepointDx LCM™ assay (it's a simple upper-arm blood collection that tests a robust multiomics biomarkers set of data; see www.timepointdx.com) on athletes for longitudinal monitoring to capture biomarkers of interest in athletic performance. I'd be curious to learn if anyone from here is interested in participating with their cohorts. Best, Mohammed Harris www.timepointdx.com mharris@timepointdx.com

Hi Marcella, I'd be interested to hear from others on this topic also. Personally, I use MotionAI, HeidiHealth, Hexis, + the usual occasional ChatGPT and Grok.

I guess it depends on what type of knowledge gaps you are trying to fill.  Both CES and PES can be seen as giving better modifications and late stage rehab, in that order.  If you feel that you need to improve your variety of similar exercises and tests you can perform with athletes than go for the CES.  If you need help bridging the gap between rehab-functional-sports specific, then I would recommend PES.  In the reply above CSCS is mentioned for credibility, but it is also good for bridging the gap between rehab that we do and high level sports performance that you would see in the gym. Other certifications you can look at would be Functional Range Systems certifications (specifically for me the FRC) ((Unfortunately not always covered or reimbursed)). ACLS/ALS certification to help with your emergency medical response capability. Sports Metrics level 1 + 2 if you want to better assist in ACL rehab for your athletes. FMS has plenty good certifications and bundles that can help with evaluations and care, but they can be expensive. Since you are in a traditional AT setting I would avoid certain certifications unless you want to broaden your horizons such as Barbell Rehab since they deal with primarily adults and chronic conditions. USAW level 1 and 2 for olympic weightlifting to help grasp an idea of higher level athlete training, but not all athletes are at a high enough level to perform barbell lifting so it might not be for you. I hope this helps out.

Tim Grover's books Relentless From Good to Great to Unstoppable and W1NNING was an eye-opening read in my personal opinion. Here's a few quotes that I resonate with on a deep level: “In order to have what you really want, you must first be who you really are.” "Being relentless means demanding more of yourself than anyone else could ever demand of you, knowing that every time you stop, you can still do more. You must do more." "Do. The. Work. Every day, you have to do something you don’t want to do. Every day. Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable, push past the apathy and laziness and fear." "Physical dominance can make you great. Mental dominance is what ultimately makes you unstoppable." "Bottom line if you want success of any kind: you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable." Listening to Tim Grover's speeches, presentations, keynotes, etc helped my mental strength also.
