Rethinking Biomechanics Movement Summit
“In January 2024, I attended the Rethinking Biomechanics Summit and left inspired and empowered enough that I followed Adarian, Jenn and Dawn to the Netherlands for more training. I am running (sprinting) and squatting now. Two activities I thought I would never ever tolerate again. If you are the curious type or suspect current conventional approaches are less effective than they should be, take a gamble on the Vegas Summit. No matter where you are in your sport or your coaching career, you’ll learn something useful that you won’t get anywhere else. I’m going again. See you there!”~Colleen Gray
Join us for an exciting two-day, in-person summit designed for movement professionals, athletes, and curious minds alike.
