We wish Shawn and the Indiana Pacers the best of luck during their play off run!

SHAWN WINDLE

Indiana Pacers, Head Strength Coach/Assistant Athletic Trainer

Topic: Talent Identification Through Testing

Traditional Combine testing is used to determine an athletes' athletic ability which in turn  is used as a predictor of future success.  Most Strength Coaches would acknowledge the flaws associated with Combine testing and may even argue over which types of tests should be administered to determine future success, but the truth of the matter is Combine testing only shows us who the best athletes are and does very little in determining future success.

In this presentation we will look at a different way to evaluate talent using tests that can not be trained for in a 12 week pre-draft training program.

 

Windle is entering his seventh season as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach/Assistant Athletic Trainer for the Pacers. Windle’s experience as an athletic trainer make him an indispensable member of the Pacers’ staff. In addition to designing high-level basketball specific strength and conditioning programs, he also excels at designing corrective exercise programs to prevent injuries, and modifying sports performance programs to accommodate for player injuries. He develops individualized nutrition and supplementation programs for all players to address their specific needs.  He is certified in the following areas of expertise: Strength & Conditioning (NSCA), Athletic Training (NATA), Functional Movement Screen, Performance Enhancement Specialist and Corrective Exercise Specialist (NASM).

Prior to his work with the Indiana Pacers, Shawn was also a Strength & Conditioning Coach at Rutgers University, University of Connecticut and the Catskill Cougars in minor league baseball.  Shawn and Brijesh Patel also own www.sbcoachescollege.com, a comprehensive web-site about strength & conditioning with numerous free articles, presentations and DVD’s for purchase.
