  Season 4 is here! We're kicking things off with another National Conference recap after an incredible week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was fortunate enough to bring my mic and laptop to the 10th Annual NHSSCA National Conference and capture conversations with people from every stage of the profession. From college students exploring strength and conditioning for the first time, to collegiate coaches presenting at the conference, to Hall of Fame inductees who have helped shape our profession, this episode offers a wide range of perspectives and experiences. A huge thank you to everyone who took a few minutes to sit down and share their story. I'm already looking forward to doing it all again next year in Nashville. Enjoy!
