• Mind/body techniques to foster mental preparedness
• How to remove negative self talk and replace it with positive imagery
• Positive imagery tactics to instill positive behavior change
• Think and move drills demonstrating how mindset can change performance

Workshop: The Resilience Continuum with Doug Kechijian
How we do things is often more impactful than what we do. Learn how to

• Integrate sports medicine and physical preparation concepts into a model that maximizes training reward and minimizes risk
• Enhance the execution of basic strength and power exercises to reduce the need for specialized interventions and manners of thinking
• Elite performers from a variety of disciplines utilize systematic progressions to master fundamental skills. Those progressions are applicable to any practitioner along the rehabilitation-performance continuum.
