Strategies to help combat physical inactivity and obesity have been developed for schools and communities; however, the role of the coach has been somewhat overlooked. This presentation focuses on how coaches can play a vital role in promoting physical fitness during their practices. Attendees will learn new approaches to practice planning along with strategies to use during practice to serve as a catalyst in developing athletes' physical fitness.
