Dislike this narrative of 'Aston Villa don't work so hard' because they have less distance. TD is a poor indicator of the work being done. They may have low TD because they're well drilled and don't have to chase after an opponent because of an error. Work done =/= good work.

I’m a big fan of getting the chance to openly discus my thoughts around sport science and in particular the use of GPS in team sports. Thanks to Eric for having me on!

The tableau king! 🤴🏻

What to see & what to say

The 🗣️ we use is 🔑 - a phrase or an analogy helps paint a picture that can help fix multiple movement errors.

Not every cue lands with the athlete (especially with all my weird references) so having a few in your locker can help…

More #ggplot2 fun on a weekend.

An updated version of the England Squad Profile with logos added in.

Wish I learnt how to do this before hitting send yesterday!
