Presenters & Panelists |
| 8:00 - 8:30 | Justifying Sports Programs - This session will show coaches how to build a case for their sports program, based on academic indicators and other measures decision-makers look at when weighing the cost benefit ratio of sports programs. Samples of successful data collection and analysis for the benefit of the sports programs will be explained. | |
| 8:30 - 9:00 | Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk: Is your coaching philosophy clear in all that you do? - Every coach knows it is important to have a philosophy. Unfortunately, too often that philosophy becomes just an interesting exercise on paper, not a guiding principle for action. This workshop is designed to help coaches clarify their philosophy, understand how to put it into action and explore ways to evaluate how well they are living what they believe in. | |
| 9:00 - 9:30 | Developing Mental Toughness Through Goal Setting - This session will look at the use of goal setting to create an environment that fosters mental toughness. The focus will be on creating controllable, process goals that can be applied throughout a season. Various practical suggestions will be provided. | |
| 9:30 - 10:00 | Building Motivation: Focusing on Learning, Effort and Improvement - This session will examine quality extrinsic and intrinsic motivation strategies. The emphasis will be on how the coach can structure the environment by focusing on learning, effort, and improvement to promote intrinsic motivation. Principles for the effective use of extrinsic strategies to enhance motivation will also be shared. | |
| 10:00 - 10:30 | Positive Conditioning Strategies - Recognize how to use conditioning to motivate your athletes to perform better in practice and in competition.

| 10:30 - 11:00 | Exercise and Daily Minutes - Coaches will learn how to integrate concepts of the Comprehensive School Physical Activity Plan as it applies to intramural and interscholastic sports, especially accumulating 60-minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Sports provide one of the best opportunities for children and adolescents to integrate fitness concepts into sports application via acquisition of fundamental motor skills. Specific examples of fun activities, games, and exercises that coaches can use will be presented. | |
| 11:00 - 11:30 | Handling Injured Athletes - Panelists will present an overview of common injury scenarios faced by coaches and physical educators before discussing possible courses of action.

| 1:30 - 2:00 | Sport Drills and Life Skills - Achieving positive developmental outcomes is not accidental, nor is it the natural byproduct of youth sport participation. This session will explore how coaches can implement simple life skill lesson plans to use in youth sport practices. | |
| 2:00 - 2:30 | Navigating the Grey Area: Ethical Decision-Making in Coaching - Pressure, intensity and dilemmas can be found at all levels of sport.

| 3:00 - 3:30 | Hey! You got your Chocolate in my Peanut Butter! Can PE and Coaching Co-exist? - Coaching and physical education have much more in common than it may appear. Both require systematic planning, application of sport science and learning theories and quality leadership from someone who knows how to teach. Unfortunately, the two sides rarely work together or value contribution the other brings to the game. This program will explore how to integrate the best of both fields for the benefit of the student, athlete, teacher, coach and sport environment. | Kristen Dieffenbach & Valerie Wayda |
| 3:30 - 4:00 | The Sport Parent: THEIR Side of the Story - Sport parents can cause headaches for coaches with questions, comments and concerns about coaching decisions.

| 4:00 - 4:30 | The National Coaching Standards: The Coaching Profession's Best Kept Secret - Did you know there are National Coaching Standards in the United States? Originally written in 1996 the National Coaching Standards are still a mystery to many coaches, ADs, and parents.
