The BridgeAthletic team attended the 2022 NSCA Coaches Conference in San Antonio, Texas January 6-8 2022. Hundreds of attendees from high school, collegiate, professional, and military human performance programs came together to share, learn, and network with each other in domains such as performance enhancement, injury prevention, and data science.

The BridgeAthletic team attended the 2021 Fusion Sport Summit - North America at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas Nevada November 5-6. Over 200 attendees from collegiate, professional, and military human performance programs came together to share and learn best practices and emerging technologies that can reshape the landscape of human potential.

This past week, the BridgeAthletic team attended the 2021 NSCA Tactical Conference at the Hilton Norfolk.  Approximately 500 attendees from across the military, police, and fire came together to learn best practices, get up to date on the latest technologies, and connect with each other.  Our own Director of Tactical and Elite Sport, Ryan Carroll, presented “Beyond the Research: Implementation of a Physiological Specific Female Soldier Training Program.” Check out more about his presentation HERE.

The list of presenters and contributors to the tactical community grows in talent each year, and the BridgeAthletic team has given a top 5 list of speakers we really enjoyed learning from this past week.  

This past week at the 2021 NSCA Tactical Conference, our Director of Tactical and Elite Sport, Ryan Carroll, presented on “Beyond the Research: Implementation of a Physiological Specified Female Soldier Training Program.”  This presentation was built off last year, in which Ryan spoke on the history and culture behind females in the military and what scientifically backed research coaches can use to put females in the best position to be physically ready for combat positions. This year’s presentation took a practical turn, as Ryan looked at the current research and built out three scenarios in which a holistic training approach could be applied to increase female soldier success.  

This week our team had the opportunity to join the Results University Mastermind Virtual Event and host our own booth. It was structured to feel just like an in-person event with roundtables, networking time, and of course, phenomenal speakers. 

This past weekend, the BridgeAthletic team had the opportunity to support the 2021 Duke Sports Performance Virtual Clinic.  It was a star studded cast of some of the best coaches in the country speaking on the most relevant topics in strength and conditioning.  Our Director of Tactical and Elite Sport, Ryan Carroll, also gave a webinar on the BridgeAthletic platform.  Most notably discussing the flexibility of the builder and displaying the popular “Dynamic Periodization” feature in which playlist programming is utilized to allow for adjustments block by block within the workout.  A video of that feature can be seen here.

It is a new year as well as a new recertification period for those certified by the NSCA and both kicked off with a great virtual event, the NSCA’s Coaches Conference! This year’s event was virtual and packed with three days of great presentations and opportunities for interaction. 

Last week, Ryan Carroll, Director of Tactical and Elite Sport, and Rob Hartman, Director of Performance, presented on How Does Technology Impact the Coaching Process at the 2021 NSCA Coaches Conference
