Optimizing Adaptation & Performance
Deliver better results to your athletes by learning the most effective strategies to integrate strength and conditioning, sports science, and advanced nutrition into a comprehensive program!
------
The field of sport performance is rapidly evolving.
The importance of strength and conditioning is more widely recognized and appreciated than ever before. There is more applied sports research being published than ever before. There are more opportunities to work in the field than ever before.
This is an incredibly exciting time to work in sports performance.
But with this growth comes several challenges.
There is more opportunity, but significantly more responsibility.
More recognition, but significantly more pressure.
More available information, but less clarity.
------
Strength and Conditioning Coaches aren’t just responsible for putting together a good training program. Now you’re expected to:
Understand movement assessments and how they relate to injury risk and sport performance Design special programs to recondition athletes recovering from injury or surgeryIntegrate technology to monitor workloads and recoveryAnalyze data for meaningful insight, and design reports to effectively communicate with athletes, coaches, and managementEducate athletes on proper sleep habits and the consequences of suboptimal sleepMake nutrition and supplementation recommendations to facilitate improved health, performance, and recovery
And while some S&C coaches are fortunate to work within a comprehensive performance team alongside rehab professionals, nutritionists, and sports scientists, most are not.
And even those that do are expected to know enough about the other fields to communicate seamlessly.
Simply, strength and conditioning coaches are spread thinner than ever, and expected to know more than ever.
And as the amount of information within the field continues to grow, it becomes harder and harder to filter out the noise to determine what actually works.
This is exactly why we put together the Optimizing Adaptation & Performance seminar…
Three of the best professionals in the industry, spending 8+ hours talking about best practices and real-world situations. It’s a no-brainer to pick this up.
They’ve done the work to make my job easier.
The talks about optimizing in-season training were extremely helpful.
The work that James is doing is groundbreaking.

Optimizing Adaptation and Performance with Mike Potenza, Kevin Neeld, and James Lavalle was a really unique experience, combining the expertise of two Strength and Conditioning Coaches working in pro sports, with one of the world’s most foremost experts in nutrition and supplementation strategies to optimize human performance. The seminar covered everything from program design to sports science to advanced nutrition strategies. I couldn’t recommend this resource any more highly.

Jim has done more to change my views on nutrition and supplementation than anyone else in the industry. Applying his methods, my players have seen significant improvements in their blood chemistry and sleep quality during the season. If you are looking for forward thinking ways to help your athletes, learning from Dr. LaValle is one of the best investments you can make. I strongly recommend attending any conference where you can hear him present.

Mike Potenza has created a higher level of training for me as a professional hockey player. We began creating my training foundation and training standards 14 years ago at the University of Wisconsin and he continues to raise the bar with new hockey related training in my pro career. His methods have allowed me to develop into a better NHL player each season.

I’ve trained with Kevin since before my first year of juniors. As a smaller guy, having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games. If you’re looking to fulfill your potential, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.
