A ‘useful’ guide for linear running distances (from 5 m to 125 m give or take 1-2 m) on a standard (105 x 68 m) football pitch. Or just keep it simple and use a trundle-wheel 😐

As a practitioner in team sports, converting athletics world records into average m/s really puts the speeds into perspective: 400 m 9.3 m/s for 43 secs 😮 800 m 7.9 m/s for 100 secs 😮 1500 m 7.3 m/s for 206 secs 😮 10000 m 6.4 m/s for 26 mins! Marathon 5.8 m/s for 2 hours!!

What is likely part of every S&C coach’s origin story? I don’t think these can be beaten!

Players scuffing up the penalty spot prior to the opposition taking the kick really doesn’t sit well with me. What other sport would allow tampering with the playing surface like that? Should be a straight red IMO, it’s just blatant cheating.

This is brilliant.

I was a right smartarse at school and regularly questioned the maths teacher as to when I’d ever use trigonometry in adult life. Well, it’s happened! I’m sorry Mr Baxter, you were right. (Turns out it was a complete waste of time, but still!)

The growth in women’s football is amazing. When I started I never would’ve thought I’d witness such a scene. Kudos to the players, supporters and staff who’ve made it all possible.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for sport science mentors and/or BASES supervisors?

Worth resharing this at this time of year.
