This Evidence-Based Certification Covers:

Module 1: Introduction & Intention

Learn the sentiment and intention behind the P&PA movement. 

You’ll learn why it’s so important for female athletes in all stages of life to have access to safe and proven training methodology.

Module 2: Athlete Mindset & Fitness Culture

Athletes have a special mindset that is often misunderstood. 

Module 2 exists for that reason. 

Here you'll learn about the psychology of "athlete brain" and how to speak to this mindset and leverage it so you can connect and build trust with your clients. 

Highlights Include: 

✔️ The psychological + culture influences of fitness culture on athletes
✔️ How to leverage athlete brain to work FOR your clients, not against them
✔️ The P&PA Communication framework to build trust and create buy-in 
✔️ 4 case studies to watch coaching communication in action. 

Module 3: Scientific Foundations & Fitness Strategy

In order to fully grasp the importance of and skill set involved with working with pregnant and postpartum athletes, we have to first learn the fundamentals of physiology and how the pelvic floor is critical for function and performance.

We know you may not have a background in exercise physiology so we’ve created an easy to understand framework to observe and address the 5 variables that often influence core and pelvic health considerations. 

Highlights Include: 

✔️ Understanding of the structure and function of the core muscles and pelvic floor. 
✔️ The P&PA Principle and how each “player” impacts core + pelvic floor function. 
✔️ Coaching videos to help you understand different breathing and pressure management strategies and how to apply them to your clients. 
✔️ Expert interview with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, Tracy Sher 

Module 4: Core & Pelvic Health Symptoms & Considerations

To better understand the full scope of pregnancy and postpartum athleticism, we have to know the potential core and pelvic health symptoms and what we‘re looking for in the first place!

This module will teach you about core and pelvic health considerations and each of the “players” of the P&PA principle you can manipulate to improve symptoms. 

You’ll walk away feeling confident in addressing these different experiences with your clients (or yourself).

Highlights Include: 

✔️ Understanding the 3 most common experiences for pregnant and postpartum women: Diastasis recti, incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse.  
✔️ The considerations for navigating fitness while experiencing symptoms.
✔️ Real life case studies of coaching athletes managing core +pelvic floor symptoms
✔️ Expert interviews with Practitioners Carrie Pagliano and Munira Hudani 

Module 5: Assessments & Programming

We must understand the basic principles of strength and conditioning before we begin designing programs and coaching athletes during pregnancy and postpartum. 

In Module 5 you’ll learn the basics of program design and all encompassing coaching considerations. 

Our goal here is to get you feeling confident in applying these principles to your coaching and to know how to apply appropriate progressive overload and deload practices for your athletes. 

Highlights Include:

✔️ The simple way to assess your clients without overwhelming them or yourself 
✔️ General strength and conditioning training principles and how to apply them to the client in front of you. 
✔️ Basic program design with The P&PA Coaching Framework
✔️ Pregnancy exercise programming fundamentals 
✔️ The progressive overload framework that I’ve used with thousands of athletes over my coaching career. 
✔️ Case study on returning to running postpartum 

Module 6: Pregnancy Athleticism

Pregnancy is a temporary chapter that brings with it many considerations from structural to physiological - not just movement modifications and choices.

In this module you’ll discover how to coach a pregnant athlete beyond modifications (or telling her to "listen to her body"). 

Highlights Include:

✔️ The key guidelines coaches must know when working with pregnant clients. 
✔️ Themes and adjustments for each trimester 
✔️ Cues for adjusting core and pelvic health strategy, positioning, periodization and training applications.
✔️ Movement demonstrations for 18 common exercises and how to adjust strategy during pregnancy 
✔️ A plug and play framework you can use to build your own pregnancy program 

Module 7: Postpartum Athleticism

Coaches are often the first to see a new mom in a fitness setting and we have to act as the first line of defense, a quality guiding voice, and a resource for recovering and reintegrating. 

In this module, you’ll learn how to approach training in the postpartum chapter as well as knowing how to progress, regress, adapt, and lead her toward improved function and performance.

Highlights include: 

✔️ What being “cleared” does and does not mean for your client 
✔️ Themes and considerations for each season of postpartum healing and how to adapt it based on athletic readiness 
✔️ How to assess your clients for diastasis postpartum
✔️ Movement demonstration videos for common exercises and how to adjust strategy postpartum 
✔️ A plug and play framework you can use to build your own 6 week postpartum program 

Module 8: Specific Applications

Our clients are pursuing a variety of athletic endeavors outside of strength training. The foundation of what you have learned can be leveraged and applied to a variety of fitness interests, sports, and demands. 

In this module you’ll learn how to apply what you’ve learned to the following specialities: 

✔️ High level athletes 
✔️ Running and endurance sports 
✔️ Yoga and pilates 
✔️ Tactical athletes
✔️ Combat sports 
✔️ Dance
✔️ Fitness after a miscarriage or pregnancy loss 
✔️ Group classes

We bring in experts from different fields to provide further context and clarity so you walk away knowing the considerations and thought processes behind each specialty. 

Module 9: Coaching the Whole Person

There are so many components of motherhood that impact fitness, health, and overall well being. 

As coaches, we must recognize that our influence and education can extend beyond providing workouts and exercises. 

In this module, you’ll learn to coach with emotional intelligence and understand how to guide conversations around weight loss/gain, mental health, social media, and body image within your given scope of practice.

Highlights Include: 

✔️ Coaching the whole person without an agenda
✔️ The importance of being curious, not judgemental
✔️ Interviews with an R.D., family therapist, and physical therapist 

Module 10: Coaching Options & Business Implementation

It’s time to take what you know and apply it in a way that works for your life and your coaching style. 

Maybe you’re a brand new coach or a seasoned one looking to expand. This module you’ll find out how to take action in your community with presence and passion while learning the keys to implementation and connection.

Highlights include: 

✔️ How to ditch imposter syndrome and take massive action
✔️ Crafting your coaching offer, including options for 1-1, group classes, specialty classes, or remote coaching
