NSCA Sports Specific Trip- Part 1

Just returned home from the NSCA Sport Specific Convention. Although it rained the entire time it was wonderful to see old friends and make new ones. Below are a few thoughts looking back on the weekend:

• I am bummed that I missed Steve Myrland's presentation (due to we presented at the same time). His information is always timeless and extremely insightful
• Althought mostly dominated by the football crowd, it was exciting to see a great representation of those who work in soccer as well
• Many of the presentations sounded similar with the 'you must dynamically warmup' routine followed by the same speed training tips that have been around for quite some time.
• There are still some coaches out there that advocate running with high knees during acceleration! Not sure why
• Personality is important if you are going to be a presenter. There was more than one or two who were quite arrogant to say the least.
• I enjoyed listening to David Sandler's presentation. Especially getting to see the 'behind the scenes' video clips from his involvement with the Fox Sports television show 'Sports Science'.

I will soon be posting my thoughts on some of the presentations that I was able to attend!
