Dr. Young and Josh Guillory

Athletic Lab’s Dr. Mike Young recently gave two presentations at the LAHPERD Annual Conference in Baton Rouge, LA. LAHPERD is the Louisiana chapter of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. AAHPERD’s mission is to promote and support leadership, research, education, and best practices in the professions that support creative, healthy, and active lifestyles.

Young earned his doctorate and coached on the LSU Track & Field team while in Baton Rouge from 2001-2005. His two lectures were titled “Motor Learning Concepts all Fitness Professionals and Physical Educators Should Know and Understand” and “Applied Motor Learning Strategies for Fitness and Physical Educators.” Dr. Young wasn’t Athletic Lab’s only representative, as 2014 coaching mentorship graduate Joshua Guillory also gave a presentation on “Developing a Strength Training Philosophy.”
