🌟 Big Announcement! 🌟 After 3 years in the making, I’m thrilled to share my new book with you: The Fitness Formula! 🏋️‍♂️📖 Unlike my strength and conditioning textbooks, tailored for academia, this is written for everyone. It’s a practical self-help guide based on evidence-based exercise and training principles 💪🏃‍♂️ 📖 Grab your copy today: shorturl.at/Sg8au I’d love to hear your thoughts, see your reviews, and if you can, please repost to spread the word. 🙏

Another session completed with the Girls NTC program 💪

@davecarolan No it’s not something I’ve seen. I know some clubs have agreements in contracts for research purposes, I was just wondering if it could be an extension of that which has then led to that statement. The AFL do generally release injury details when team selections are announced.

@Chriswing86 Interesting- not sure I’ve come across that before! Is it something you’ve seen Chris, especially in Australian sport. Pretty sure the @AFL have regular medical bulletins from clubs? @damianraper / @darrenburgess25 may give additional perspective

👀Very interesting development here… Mark Robins told he can’t talk about injuries in press due to data protection 🔐Is this the first instance of GDPR being applied to a sports coach discussing player fitness &/or availability ❓Has there been a case like this in US sport?

@davecarolan I’m just guessing here, but does it maybe depend what’s in the players contracts and if there’s an agreement required to share their medical data in this way?

In fact in some leagues it seems the teams have to declare their injury lists as part of the league rules? Here is the @Commanders report for the @Panthers Curious if anyone else has heard of this!

@Coachgriffin88 We have this quite often with prac students too. I don’t get where the interest comes from or how they think they will be able to coach and demo when they don’t train themselves 🤷‍♂️

I’d assume a love of exercise/training would be why someone would choose to study exercise science. But, I come across so many exercise science students who don’t train 🤯 If this is you, you need to start training, yesterday! You learn sooooo much from your own training.

Agility race to add to the end of a warm up. Lateral shuffle in space between the white lines, yellow mirrors blue (and vice versa for rep 2), followed by a ~20 meter accel/sprint with a reactive start. Start can be based on: 1. Coach command 2. Initiated by "lead" player

📖 Our new book, Edition 4 of Conditioning for Strength and Human Performance is due out in the middle of October. 🙏 Huge thanks to my co-editors (Jeff and Britt Chandler) + all chapter authors who have produced some world-leading content for us. 🔗 routledge.com/Conditioning-f….

It will even code it out into CSV so you can drop it into excel. All ready to use for practice and/or teaching for a range of different tasks: learning code, building dashboards, generating reports etc. 2/2

If you are looking for dummy/fictitious data sets to practice analysing or for teaching with, ChatGPT does a reasonable (not perfect!!) job of generating these, providing you are specific with some of the details within your question (e.g., ranges for some tests). 1/2

Fantastic interview from one of our scholarship athletes. Super diligent and consistent both on the bike and in the gym! 🚴‍♂️💨💨💨

@DanKennoy Very good thanks mate, hope you are well too ❤️

@Chriswing86 Hahaha hope your keeping well mate 😘

My PhD was great for a lot of reasons, but by far the skill I use the most, and the one that has impacted my practice the greatest is R - and specifically Markdown for automating GPS reports. Less time sat at a computer = more time with the athletes and with my family!

@DanKennoy I will take that, been called a lot worse at times this week 🤣🤣

@Chriswing86 Geek 🤣

@RoyalMailHelp sent two identical parcels to two mates from Australia to UK. One has to pay for it and one doesn’t. Who makes this up?!?!

@reynoldsj89 Great player, even better bloke! Was great to work with you during the Barton days. All the best for what the future holds for you ⚽️

@Shaun_McLaren1 @SportsmithHQ @HowellsDan The argument I don’t get is the “coaching people is more important”. Being able to code and spend considerably less time at my laptop means I can do exactly that - spend more of my working day with the athletes!

Anti ‘S&C coaches should learn to code’ arguments simplified: Should you learn to drive? “Nonsense! I’ve got nowhere to go!” “I have 50 years experience with public transport” “It doesn’t need to be that complicated. What’s wrong with cycling?” @SportsmithHQ @HowellsDan

@bartonroversfc RIP Arthur 💙💙

Sad news today, Rovers long serving committee member and groundsman Arthur Jennart has passed away. A friend to us all, loved a natter over a beer and what he didnt know about the Sharpenhoe Rd pitch wasnt worth knowing. Condolences to all his family, Rip Arthur Mo 💔

🏋️‍♂️ If you’re looking to study an MSc in Strength and Conditioning, what better place to come than the London Sport Institute (@MDX_LSI) at Middlesex University (@MiddlesexUni). 🔗 Course information + brief video showing our new facilities here: mdx.ac.uk/courses/postgr….

@DrNicolasHart @callummccaskie @WestCoastEagles @pernix_smarter @MLS @ColumbusCrew Massive congratulations @callummccaskie fantastic news and so well deserved 😊

Big congratulations to our PhD student (soon to be graduate) @CallumMcCaskie who has been completing work in industry with @WestCoastEagles and @Pernix_Smarter. Now, onto even bigger things in the USA, for @MLS @ColumbusCrew. Well done Cal. Another Aussie leading the way in USA.

@Andysbrett Only about 6 hours flight from us then 😂

@Chriswing86 East mate, couple of hrs from Brisbane. I have the details at work, I shall let you know.

I mean, imagine walking into my office and saying “an opportunity as come up in Australia, we are currently thinking of sending you for 3 weeks, do you fancy it?” Of course I do!
