Loving the 40 yard debates I see at this time of year. Makes me realise the ceiling of preparation is still so low! Making such big changes in short amounts of time is scary. I do with my rugby guys all the time. The solution?? Get better at team sport speed training.

Sequencing exercises for high motor skill transfer and physical development. I call this the Learn Load Execute Model and It is the second framework that informs the sport speed system.

Back in business!!! First club since 2018 but the mission is so different. I got my dream job a long time ago. Don’t need to do it again. Now it’s bigger for me. It’s accessibility to speed development and performance training. Exciting times ahead, club wide!

Just read this book again. As an S&C coach who specialses in speed training I found this an excellent book. 360 pages and only approx 10 euros for kindle version. The Sports Speed System: How To Build the Ultimate Team Sport Sprinter amzn.eu/d/duPdloY

VISION - INTENTION - ACTION! Sea views from the kitchen and now officially a landlord. Future proofing from coaching is a must!

Why is “conditioning” viewed strictly as running? Can’t other means/methods in the weight room, jumping exercises, and general strength circuits (for example) be applied to achieve adaptations? We need to do a better job of coaching education in youth/high school regarding

Let's train S&C coaches to be skilled labourers and not scientists. If we assumed the vocational training pathways we will see the end of this nonsense as you could become an "apprentice coach". But...then who would fill up the water?
