This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between elite professional sport (leveraging Nick’s work with pro basketball and football teams) and in-the-trenches education.

Join us to reimagine the pool as a place of curiosity, confidence, and lifelong aquatic learning – where students lead, teachers guide, and every lesson creates a ripple of positive impact.

This practical, one-day workshop led by Professor Shane Pill invites PE teachers from across Elementary, Middle, and High School to think about curriculum content as key concepts structured through a thematic curriculum design. Concept-based PE has been found to be more likely than conventional PE to promote out-of-school physical activity and to build the habit of mind to be active into the future.

Agency in Action is an immersive workshop for educators who want to deepen their understanding of how student agency can be fostered in meaningful and practical ways. Participants will observe a live lesson and engage in guided reflection and analysis to explore the teaching moves and learning conditions that make student agency visible in practice.

This practical, on-court workshop demonstrates how to transform volleyball instruction using the Play with Purpose framework.

This active session focused on data-based feedback for the purpose of improving learning guides participants to build learner agency through formative feedback.

The Intentional PE Effect invites educators to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their identity, vision, curiosity, and purpose as teachers..

This session highlights five essential, research-informed practices that drive impactful health and physical education instruction.

The goal of this hands-on workshop is for teachers and coaches to design educational experiences grounded in an adolescent developmental approach, informed by principles of Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) and growth and maturation science.

Participants will explore practical routines for goal-setting, reflection, and student choice so learners can engage in different ways, demonstrate learning through multiple formats, and develop stronger self-management, social, and thinking skills through meaningful PE challenges.
