2023 Event Information
The Los Angeles Dodgers are excited for the return of our Strength and Conditioning Symposium presented by Gatorade with supporting partner Therabody. We are excited to host at Dodger Stadium, and will feature a blend of academic, classroom-style presentation, as well as practical application, in the home weight room, batting cage and on the field.
Led by VP of Player Performance, Brandon McDaniel and his staff, the Dodgers Strength and Conditioning Symposium series is open to any practitioner that is looking for NSCA CEU's and to learn about how the Dodgers Philosophy of Athletic Development has helped identify, train and continue to develop the physical aspects needed to perform at the highest level of baseball over a sustained period of time.
We're also excited to welcome Dr. Greg Rose, Co-Founder at Titleist Performance Institute, as our keynote speaker!
2023 Dodger Stadium Symposium
The in-person Symposium event will give a deep dive into how the Dodgers use movement analysis, technology, performance and skill metrics to develop athletes from the age of 16 in Latin America all the way up to how they train their professional team for the grueling demands on a major league season. All of the material will transfer over to how to train high school, college or professional baseball players.
There will be a blend of an academic setting in the classroom, as well as a practical setting, in the home weight room, batting cage, bullpen, and on the field.
Please dress appropriately for the practical settings. Athletic clothing will be preferred.
