In his session, Dr. Trent Stellingwerff, Chief Performance Officer at the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, will share research-driven insights on how coaches can best support athletes’ health and long-term performance during this critical time.

Dr. McCleery, Ph.D., is Co-Director of the UW Center for Leadership in Athletics and a Professor of Practice at the University of Washington. Her work focuses on sport leadership, coach development, and advancing equity and well-being in youth and collegiate athletics.
Drawing from her experience as both an Olympian and head coach, Hilary Stellingwerff will share practical strategies for keeping athletes healthy and thriving. She’ll explore how to apply performance science in day-to-day coaching, monitor training loads effectively, and build team cultures rooted in strong values, positive language, and athlete autonomy. Now in her sixth year leading the University of Victoria’s cross country and track programs, Hilary has guided teams to multiple podium finishes and coached for Canadian National Teams.
Courtney Meldrum, Head XC and T&F Coach at Lone Peak High School, will share how she built a thriving team culture that grew from 9 to over 90 athletes in just over a decade. Under her leadership, Lone Peak has earned four consecutive top-four NXN finishes. Her approach centers on inclusivity, gratitude, purpose, and relationships—showing that winning is the natural outcome of a strong culture.
