The goal of the Institute is simple yet ambitious, and that is to accelerate the evolution of the MMA athlete while also becoming a leader in the sports performance community. This session will discuss the strategies and philosophies that shape the UFC performance model: training theory, physical preparation, weight management, and competition performance for one of the world’s most demanding sports. BIOG: Duncan French is the vice president of performance at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. He is responsible for directing the state-of-the-art facility, which provides performance services to UFC athletes. Duncan has over 20 years of experience working with elite professional and Olympic athletes. Prior to joining the UFC, he was the director of performance sciences at the University of Notre Dame. Before residing in the US, Duncan was a technical lead for strength and conditioning at the English Institute of Sport. He has worked three full Olympic cycles, and was the national lead for strength and conditioning to both Great Britain Basketball and Great Britain Taekwondo. As a strength and conditioning (S&C) coach, Duncan has coached a host of Olympic, World Championship, and Commonwealth Games medallists, as well as world-record holders from a variety of different sports. Chairman of the UKSCA from 2011-13, Duncan received an Honorary Fellowship in 2014. He has authored or co-authored over 60 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and seven book chapters. PROFESSOR BEN JONES (1150–1240) INCREASING THE USEFULNESS OF RESEARCH IN PRACTICE SESSION OVERVIEW: Practitioners apply novel and innovative methods in practice, to enhance sports performance. Within the literature there is a large volume of sports science and strength and conditioning knowledge which is generated from academic research, which theoretically could be applied to sport. Despite this, it is still acknowledged that research findings are often difficult to access, and their application to the real world can be problematic for a number of reasons. Allowing research to be seen as useful, as opposed to interesting, will increase its usability in practice. This talk presents strategies and solutions that can be used by practitioners to help apply research to the real and complex world of sports performance. BIOG: Ben is a professor of sports physiology and performance, and holds a full-time academic position at Leeds Beckett University, UK, where he leads a number of applied research projects in sports performance. Ben has published over 85 scientific peer-review publications since 2014, he frequently presents at international conferences, and he also co-edited the book, Science of Sport: Rugby. He is also an accredited S&C coach (UKSCA), and in 2017 won the UKSCA Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year for Research and Education Award. Ben currently holds consultancy roles with the Rugby Football League, as the research and innovation manager; with Yorkshire Carnegie Rugby Union as head of academy science and research, and with Leeds Rhinos Rugby League as head of science. 4 4–5 August 2017 DAY ONE 4 AUGUST UKSCA’s 14th Annual Conference SATURDAY SPEAKERS BIOGRAPHIES CLIVE BREWER (1030–1120) QUALITY AND QUANTITY: MAXIMISING ATHLETIC BASEBALL PERFORMANCES FOR 162 GAMES IN 180 DAYS SESSION OVERVIEW: In 2016 the Toronto Blue Jays established the first high performance department in Major League baseball (MLB), with a view to placing the athletes’ needs at the centre of baseball’s performance problem: how to maximise performances and athlete availability with 162 games in 180 days across multiple venues and time zones. This presentation will present some of the challenges that MLB teams face, and highlight how true interdisciplinary support is empowering the athlete development programme to address these challenges, with the aim of bringing the world series back to Canada. The session will include assessment driven programming at the individual level, as well as sharing examples of programmes and planning considerations; it will also present some of the considerations that are unique to working within US professional sports. BIOG: Clive is the assistant director of high performance for the Toronto Blue Jays. Prior to this, he was the head S&C coach to Widnes Vikings Rugby League Club, and a consultant to a number of high performance organisations, including Manchester United, USA Football, IMG Academy, and Wimbledon Tennis Championships. He has formerly held national lead roles – as the head of human performance with the Rugby Football League, as SportScotland’s national programme manager for athlete development, and as national strength coach for Scottish Athletics and Scotland Rugby League. Clive is accredited by the UKSCA, the NSCA, and the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (BASES) as a support scientist, as well as being a chartered scientist with the Science Council. In 2015 he was awarded a Fellowship with the UKSCA. His latest book on developing athletic movement skills was published by Human Kinetics in the spring of 2017, and he is regularly in demand to present his work at a number of International conferences DR CRAIG HARRISON (1400–1450) DEVELOPING THE YOUNG ATHLETE: FROM BIOLOGY TO BEHAVIOUR SESSION OVERVIEW: This session will provide an insight into athlete development, an evidence-informed, non-sport-specific development programme for youth athletes aged 8-17 years in New Zealand. Specifically, Dr Craig Harrison will present the key principles of the programme and how they are applied to develop the foundations of physical and mental performance. BIOG: Dr Craig Harrison helps youth athletes develop the foundations of physical and mental performance. Focusing his time on two key areas, Craig is the director of athlete development at AUT Millennium, an evidenced-informed, non-sport-specific development programme for youth athletes aged 8-17 years. Craig is also a research fellow at the Sports Performance Research Institute New Zealand (SPRINZ) at AUT University, where he leads the youth athlete development postgraduate research group. Craig has been working with parents, coaches, teachers and administrators to help youth athletes reach their sporting best across New Zealand for over 15 years. 4–5 August 2017 5 UKSCA’s 14th Annual Conference DAY ONE 4 AUGUST SATURDAY SPEAKERS BIOGRAPHIES JOHN MITCHELL (1400–1450) INTEGRATING OLYMPIC SPORTS COACHING METHODOLOGIES INTO AN ELITE SUPER RUGBY PROGRAMME SESSION OVERVIEW: This presentation will outline planning and coaching tech- niques used in various Olympic sports. Sports such as rowing, gymnastics and basketball provide key training elements directly transferable into the rugby training environment. Strategic use of these elements can be successfully applied and adapted to optimise player preparation in elite Super Rugby. BIOG: John has been working in the strength and conditioning industry for 26 years across both professional and national team environments. Currently, he is S&C coach with the ACT Brumbies Super Rugby team.
