Head coaches who want to understand what their strength program should look like. Position coaches who influence their team's training. Strength coaches working with the football program. The material assumes you have working experience in a strength setting and moves at a coach-to-coach pace. Do I need to know the Conjugate Method before attending? No. Bott teaches the principles from the ground up before he gets into football-specific application. If you have read Book of Methods or run a max effort day before, you will move faster, but a coach new to conjugate can keep up. I'm coming from out of state. Any logistics I should know?
