Athlete

Sports Medicine Conference focuses on athletes who want to continue to achieve their best in their desired sport or
athletic field, as well as active adults who want to optimize their exercise and
training. Three-time Olympic Winner Brooke Bennett will kick off our

is currently training to return to a national competition fitness level. Also,
