Join Frankie Telfort and Katie Dabrowski of Old Bull Athletics for an immersive weekend of kettlebells: Assessing, coaching, cueing, and mastering! Learn how to utilize kettlebells in both training and rehab, master skills and techniques, feel confident with coaching and cueing for all skill levels, and get extensive hands-on practice. Kettlebells are an invaluable resource for trainers, coaches, and rehab providers to create optimal training and rehab programs blending strength, power, speed, and athleticism – come learn with us!
We’re excited to announce that our Kettlebells = Healthcare weekend seminar is now officially approved for 1.0 NASM CEUs!
There’s a lot of “fluff” out there in the fitness and rehab industry – low level drills, under-dosed rehab interventions, training that doesn’t provide enough of a stimulus to create an adaptation, or flashy trends on social media.
And then there are kettlebells.
Kettlebells provide endless opportunities to master skills, improve coordination, enhance strength and power, promote athleticism, and create a fun training and rehab stimulus. That’s what this weekend is all about.
With Kettlebells = Healthcare, we’ll dive into you – the trainer, coach, or rehab provider – mastering kettlebell skills so you can feel confident coaching, programming, and implementing. We’ll learn about cues, progressions, regressions, and program design so you can seamlessly weave kettlebells into your gym or clinic. We’ll explore training and rehab concepts and apply with practical, hands-on learning so you can leave this weekend ready to implement with your clients and patients.
WHAT TO EXPECT OVER THIS TWO-DAY COURSE:
- A blend of lecture-based learning, group discussion, and practical application (wear workout clothes – you’re going to WORK!)
- A deep understanding of cueing, coaching, progressions, and regressions for all skill levels
- Learning how to incorporate kettlebells in training and rehab
