of information in this rapidly growing field and give you the lowdown 

on sports nutrition and supplementation that works. He’ll cover topics

Applied Performance Nutrition for Coaches 

and Trainers 

Performance nutrition is more than just knowing what’s good to eat 

and what’s bad. Rather, it’s about knowing the “what to eat” 

(food selection), the “how much to eat” (calorie selection), and the 

“when to eat” (nutrient timing). In this presentation, Dr. Berardi will 

cover all three by presenting a practical and immediately applicable 

nutrition system that teaches you how to get the most out of your 

clients and athletes.

Core Integrity: Relative to What? 

Why does your client say they can’t sit up tall in yoga or pilates class? 

Is it that the hamstrings need stretching? They don’t seem “tight” 

when you check them passively. Movements done away from gravity 

versus towards gravity, actively or passively can look differently. Going 

through these thought processes can help us better determine what 

the client needs in the program and helps us make more efficient 

choices for the training program.

Money: Why You Don’t Have It and How To Get It 

Fitness professionals work hard for their money but seldom reap the 

benefits financially of the passion they bring to their profession. Why 

is it so hard for fitness professionals, including trainers, coaches, 

and physical therapists, to make real money in their lives and to get 

paid for the years of training and commitment they bring to their 

respective fields? In this seminar, Thom will rant and rave about 

things you can do now to change how you think about money and 

how you can make more immediately. Stop settling for less and start 

getting paid for the passion you bring to your work and your life.
