Teachers: LESLEE (with highlight info from LYNNE on high school/college.)

In person and online.

This is part lecture and part practice and is another cornerstone in how to work effectively with athletes, or be key information to apply to your own body, sport participation and practice. We will:

• review overused muscles used in specific sports and highlight common issues
• break down specific sports and how to work with athletes within those sports (and even different team positions in the same sport)
• look at proven and research-corroborated differences in female vs male injuries and prevention tools
• study how differences in female vs male physiology (e.g pelvis structure; “Q angle”, hormones, cycles, etc.) can impact strength, alignment, and other factors
• delve deeply into age considerations and approaches from juniors to super agers (with in depth and amazing information and research on pre/during/post menopausal athletes) and the critical, specific implications that must be understood
• all within the overarching objective of helping athletes – and those moving with intention – be the best possible in any level or sport or activity

IMPORTANT NOTE: This content is informed by collective decades of working with athletes of all age ranges and a wide variety of sports and positions. Information shared and taught is honed from tried and true methods of gaining compliance in athletes from young through baby boomers and beyond – all through direct experience AND the ongoing study of best practices, research, and exercise science. Additionally, personal anecdote shared by Leslee from her tough experience with pre/post menopause and how to train and manage quality of life during that time is invaluable in her blend of personal anecdote with a deep collection of data, updated research on performance recommendations, expert findings, and insights.
