The higher level thinking at the Huddle is just insane. It really has put in perspective where I should be and what I should strive to be for. That’s why I have come back, and this time, have brought people with me!

– Christopher P., ATC

I really enjoy coming to these talks because it is a good refresher for me to be around other like-minded people and have professionals talk about new things I am not familiar with. I get to grow myself as a clinician here.

– Raeanna O., ATC

Everyone here is so open to learning, but also willing to teach just as much. You are getting really valuable information and are being taught everything professionals have learned across their entire career. So you get to take pieces and mold it for your own experience.

– Alexis G., PT, DPT, CSCS

This is definitely one of the best athletic training conferences that I go to every year. This is my third year in a row going and I think it’s wonderful. The huddle really pulls everybody together and does exactly what they say they will do. It brings physical therapists, athletic trainers, doctors, and everyone into the same playing field.

– Allison U., ATC

I always find one or two speakers that I’m like, Fan girling a little bit here and can’t wait to hear! The best part about these conferences is that you go in with one thing in mind, you want to learn and get exposed to so much more. It’s really helpful to learn to help us collaborate with other professionals as well.

– Alexis G., PT, DPT, CSCS

Absolutely AMAZING conference. Bravo to the whole team for putting it together. Overall, I was extremely impressed by the conference, the speakers, and the content and will come to this again next year. It was also great to have pelvic floor therapy speakers and contacts. I can’t tell you the number of patients I have that would benefit from this and now I have two resources that I will definitely utilize. Thanks again for a great two days!

– Callie D., MD

It was a fantastic event and I loved the chance to learn from and meet so many people who share my passion for supporting athletes. I can only imagine how much time and energy you put into the conference, and I hope you are taking some well-deserved time to celebrate pulling off a great event!

– Maddie, Sports Psychologist
