Instituting Value Driven LeadershipLeamor Kahanov EdD, ATC, LAT A variety of leadership styles exist and are classified into two general categories; 1) relationship focus and 2) task focus. Current literature suggests that subordinates seek relational leadership, yet most leaders participate in a task oriented style. The disconnect is due to a lack of development prior to accepting a leadership role. The purpose of the workshop is to provide an introspective assessment of personal leadership style, values, and value assessment of others. Likewise, communication and motivational strategies of subordinates using assessed values will be accomplished through hands-on activities. The workshop is geared towards both new and mature leaders.Speaker Biography: Leamor Kahanov has 25 years of experience practicing, teaching, managing athletic training educational programs and higher education administration.?

MDT, Cert IVGThe development of movement requires us to develop muscular differentiation to raise our spine against gravity and walk on our limbs. Injuries, both neurologic and orthopedic, affect the neurological programming of this differentiation, creating either or both upper and lower crossed syndromes. This programming requires certain rehabilitation exercises to combat these impairments. Closed kinetic chain exercises and fascial release approaches for the hips and the shoulders are very effective in addressing these impairments. This program in a workshop format will discuss muscular differentiation, the neurological impairment that influences the quality of this differentiation and how to improve it with specialized exercises and pin and stretch myofascial techniques. Speaker Biography: Richard Cohen is a 1985 graduate of Western States Chiropractic College. His postgraduate work includes his Diplomate in Chiropractic Orthopedics, Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, and board eligible in Chiropractic Rehabilitation.

The popularity of these actions is attributable not only to the increasing knowledge surrounding the dangers of concussions, but also because plaintiffs’ attorneys are now?specifically?targeting these so-called “concussion”?and “CTE”?cases.?In what is?becoming a terrifying trend?for ATs and others,?today’s reality is that following a catastrophic head injury in the sports’ context, the first question becomes who –?other?than the injured athlete – is responsible for that catastrophic outcome. That question quickly then becomes who must ultimately?pay?the injured athlete?(or the surviving family?in a death case)?to compensate for that injury.?The key, of course, is to have properly addressed these issues?before?a lawsuit is filed.Speaker Biography: Steve Pachman is a partner in Montgomery McCracken’s Litigation Department. He concentrates his practice on the defense of catastrophic sports injury cases, and regularly represents individuals and school systems in catastrophic injury matters arising out of alleged premature return-to-play decisions and other negligence theories.
