The annual GAIN conference brings together some of the best minds working in different fields, different sports, and different countries. This year's theme was building on the basics, and we put together a panel discussion on progression that represented the diverse backgrounds at the conference. Panelists included:

• Greg Thompson - Primary school physical education teacher at Longacre Elementary in the Farmington Public School District
• Grace Golden - Program Director of University of Oregon’s Graduate Athletic Training Program
• Jimmy Radcliffe - Head strength and conditioning coach at the University of Oregon
• Angus Ross - Lead power physiologist for Athletics New Zealand
• Johnny Parkes - Manager of Player ID and Development at USTA
