ON-DEMAND Evidence-Based Strengthening and Conditioning The Who, What, When, Where, and Why of Exercise and How to Prescribe and Administer it Successfully Prudent, Productive, Practical and Purposeful Strength and Conditioning Principles The field of exercise science is an unregulated industry that is fraught with misinformation. That is not to say practitioners are not well intended. Certainly, a person wanting to help clients achieve their ultimate physical potential is admirable. However, despite being well intended, many practitioners need more education in physiologically sound exercise principles as well as in the practical application of strength and conditioning protocols, and management and administration strategies. The purpose of this seminar is to provide attendees the physiological acumen along with practical skills for prescribing and administering evidence-based strength and conditioning programs. Participants will examine all aspects of exercise prescription, including programming and testing protocols, as well as strategies for implementation and administration. Specific guidelines for accommodating injury rehabilitation, overseeing nutrition and weight management, and working with special populations will be discussed. This seminar is taught by an established professional who has worked “in the trenches” at every level of the exercise industry. Attendees will leave equipped to render a higher quality of service to those whose care they are entrusted.

    "I would have all of my Offensive Lineman wrestle if I could." - John Madden, Hall of Fame Football Coach "Well-respected by coaches and teammates for his tough, aggressive nature (comes from his prep wrestling background)" - NFL Draft Scout on Alex Stepanovich "One of the messages Denney hopes to relay to the Valley high school coaches and athletes is that wrestling is the perfect complement to football. While football is in its offseason, wrestling provides the perfect opportunity for the athletes to remain active, while working on their agility and conditioning, Denney said. Shawhan can attest to Denney’s theory, also having an extensive gridiron background. Along with playing semi-pro football, Shawhan also has years of being an assistant football coach throughout the Rio Grande Valley (Mission High, Harlingen High, PSJA High, McAllen Memorial and McHi). "In Texas, everyone knows that high school football is king," Denney said. "I’m telling you, though, Texas is catching up in wrestling. And a lot of the football coaches are realizing how much wrestling can help their football team. And believe me, that’s the truth. I know it firsthand. You have to remember when I started out I was a football coach in high school, and I would go to the wrestling team and get everyone that could to sign up for my football team." - By Wade Baker,The McAllen Monitor MCAllen, Texas. "My football coach told me, 'You better get in wrestling or I'll beat you up,'" -- Tim Lee, Texas High School All-American Lee said that wrestling helps him on the football field because he knows he has to stay low.
