Pilates trains the athlete to be dynamically stable while integrating seamlessly into their training protocol. As a Pilates-certified instructor teaching in this professional environment\, there are a variety of important nuances you’ll want to master to ensure optimal success. \nIn this series\, you’ll learn about the relationship between the scientific testing and assessments performed in professional sports and why this process is so critical in setting the foundation for an optimized Pilates training plan. When working with athletes\, efficiency of movement is paramount for success both on the field and in helping to reduce the risk of injury. You will learn how footwork directly relates to harnessing ground reaction forces; the importance and integration of proximal stability (IAP); and insights and impacts of proper kinematic sequencing. \nFinally\, you’ll explore why/how exercise set up is as important as the exercise itself; you’ll develop innovative\, highly effective training progressions; and you’ll learn how to seamlessly incorporate external cuing. \nSeries Registration: PMA Members: $75 / Non-members: $95\nIndividual Workshops: PMA Members: $35 / Non-members: $45\nAttendees of this PMA Educates Workshop Series will receive 4.5 NPCP-CECs. Registrants must attend or view the entire series to receive CECs; CECs will not be provided for individual workshops. Each individual workshop recording will be made available for registrants to view for up to 72 hours after that session.\n  \nWorkshop #1: August 9th\, 2023\n‘The Body is a Chain Reaction – If it Doesn’t Transfer it Doesn’t Matter’\n\nLearn about the unique physical training needs of explosive\, rotational athletes and the importance of efficient transference of energy up the kinetic chain. Critical topics covered will include the science of 3D motion capture\, the kinematic sequence\, and how those discoveries influence your Pilates training protocols. \nPowerful athletic movements begin from the athletes’ ability to harness and use ground reaction forces. We will deconstruct foot and ankle function on various pieces of equipment\, enabling you to teach your athletes the best and safest strategies for explosive power. \nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nExamine the kinematic sequence and ground reaction force data and understand why this data helps you develop your training methodologies;\nExplore foot work and the effects up the kinetic chain;\nLearn the exercises that benefit single leg glute activation\, why we use them and how to infuse plyometrics into your training strategies.\n\nWorkshop #2: August 16\, 2023 – ‘Proximal Stability – Why it is Essential for Peak Performance’\nWorkshop #3: August 23\, 2023 -‘Common Injuries in Rotational Athletes – Pilates Training Protocols to Help the Athlete Stay in the Game’\nClick here to register now!\n  \nMeet Katherine Roberts:\n\n\n\nKatherine Roberts\, founder of Human Performance Pilates\, a division of Katherine Roberts Human Performance for SportsTM is a leader in incorporating Pilates into her athletes’ strength and conditioning programming. As a multidisciplinary movement specialist\, her clients including those in Major League Baseball\, value her expertise especially in the area of Pilates\, well- evidenced by her 16th season working with MLB players. \nHer paramount goal is to help athletes and sports enthusiasts achieve maximum performance.

When working with athletes\, the concept of proximal stability can have significant benefits for performance for all your rotational athletes. \nProper ribcage positioning has a direct impact on distal efficiency. Learn why creating “tension” in the core provides the athlete with a sense of control over their rotational movements. We will deconstruct the best exercises for proximal strength while also focusing on impactful and efficient breathing techniques. \nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn why proximal stability and ribcage positioning are important for performance;\nWhat is facial tension and why it has an impact on generating power;\nUnderstand topics such as shoulder to hip disassociation\, HIP IR / ER\, and learn specific exercises targeting these essential movement skills.\n\nWorkshop #1: August 9\, 2023 – ‘The Body is a Chain Reaction – If it Doesn’t Transfer it Doesn’t Matter’\nWorkshop #3: August 23\, 2023 -‘Common Injuries in Rotational Athletes – Pilates Training Protocols to Help the Athlete Stay in the Game’\nClick here to register now!\n  \nMeet Katherine Roberts:\n\n\n\nKatherine Roberts\, founder of Human Performance Pilates\, a division of Katherine Roberts Human Performance for SportsTM is a leader in incorporating Pilates into her athletes’ strength and conditioning programming.

If the athlete lacks the ability to segment their spine or has a past injury\, this may be a precursor for future injury. Additionally\, poor foot/ankle function\, compromised hip internal rotation\, kyphosis\, and immobile scaps\, may be the cause of hip\, lumbar\, and elbow injuries. \nAs part of the Strength & Conditioning team you will need to consider the athlete’s other physical workloads\, playing time\, and travel; all of which will contribute to your successful training protocols. \nIn this workshop\, participants will: \n\nLearn about the most common injuries in rotational athletes;\nExplore best practices to help reduce the risk of injuries;\nUnderstand the relationship between thoracic mobility and shoulder / elbow injuries.\n\nWorkshop #1: August 9\, 2023 – ‘The Body is a Chain Reaction – If it Doesn’t Transfer it Doesn’t Matter’\nWorkshop #2: August 16\, 2023 – ‘Proximal Stability – Why it is Essential for Peak Performance’\nClick here to register now!\n  \nMeet Katherine Roberts:\n\n\n\nKatherine Roberts\, founder of Human Performance Pilates\, a division of Katherine Roberts Human Performance for SportsTM is a leader in incorporating Pilates into her athletes’ strength and conditioning programming.
