It was great to present the final study of my PhD at ECSS comparing high-intensity strength training to current practice in football. There were some great questions and conversations to finish off that will help develop my research going forward #ECSS2022

I'm proud to have a chapter from my PhD published in Science & Medicine in Football. Comparing the strength training approach between men's and women's football Hope to continue developing this area going forward! ⚽️
