Building Better Performance
How to Design Purposeful Warm-Ups & Develop Sustainable Sleep Strategies
Join two experienced performance professionals as they provide practical strategies for creating more effective warm-ups and turning sleep science into sustainable behaviors.
Sean Hayes
Director of Player Performance, UFL
The Workout Is Only as Good as the Warm-Up: Creating a Road Map to a Great Training Session
A great training session starts before the main workout ever begins. Sean Hayes will break down how to design purposeful warm-ups that prepare the body for the demands ahead.
Learn how to differentiate between workout and competition warm-ups, incorporate prehab strategies based on common injury sites, and build warm-ups that lead directly into the primary training session.
Whether you're coaching a team, working one-on-one, or improving your own training, you'll gain practical strategies for making the warm-up an intentional part of performance—not just something you do before the workout.
Cristi Bartlett
Assistant AD / Director of Strength & Conditioning, NC State University
Translating Sleep Science into Actionable Behaviors
We know sleep matters for performance and recovery—but consistently putting that knowledge into practice can be challenging.
Cristi Bartlett will help bridge the gap between sleep science and real life, exploring the competing realities that can interfere with quality sleep and practical strategies for creating better habits.
The focus isn't on creating a “perfect” sleep routine. It's on developing realistic, sustainable behaviors that athletes, coaches, clients, and individuals can actually maintain.
