It is refreshing hearing a player talking about rest, recovery, preparation and the final ingredient, some forward planning! Might be something Football needs to do more of 👀? Just a thought!! bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

This will be a valuable talk to anyone listening. ✊🏽
I'm grateful and excited to be given a platform by the @UKSCA to share the unspoken truth of what many practitioners are experiencing in elite sport. If you'll be there it would be great to meet you in person and expand this conversation - DM me. PROACTIVE APPROACHES TO NAVIGATING THE CRISIS IN PERFORMANCE SUPPORT STAFF WELLBEING 📍This session will explore my research looking into the common themes 160 senior performance staff are experiencing in elite sport. It highlights the issues that are negatively influencing their personal happiness and professional impact. 🎯The first aim is to bring awareness of these powerful findings, which will strike a cord with many who attend. Often due to separation from themselves. I’ll discuss why they sacrifice without question for the golden chalice of prestigious roles. And why this golden chalice quickly turns into a poisoned chalice. 🎯The second aim is to offer practical solutions. These will be delivered in an interactive format, in which coaches can proactively look at their decision making to stop living to work and start living their life. 🙋🏻‍♂️This session is not solely aimed at ‘teaching’ you something. Rather, it’s about opening your eyes to something you may not be aware of in a way that serves you. #ukscaconference2023 #strengthandconditioningresearch #menbehindsport

This looks like an exciting and necessary partnership for women and girls in sport at all levels. 👍🏽
We are incredibly passionate about female empowerment, especially in sport. 🫶 That's why we're proud to announce our Partnership with @WSportsAlliance, a platform that aims to advance women's sport through education and storytelling. 1/2

Agree with both comments. This lack of understanding has led to the creation of “fad training” or gimmicks when doing speed training. The ability to understand how A affects B is key and is where most time should be spent rather than focusing on the outcomes of movement.

This is very smart play and is definitely a way of taking the pressure off/sharing the burden during a critical moment👏🏽
Great video, protecting the penalty taker, taking on the mind game tactics from the opposition ✅Huge amount of foresight to plan this ✅Players taking on different ‘roles’ to support team ✅Deception and disguise
