2025 ✔️ The last few weeks of the year summed up right here ⬇️ Cold, frosty conditions and pitches which have taken a beating by the turning point of the season. Nevertheless, the goal remains the same - Get the players back to their very best! 💯 With limited time off over Christmas, the rehab group has grinded through session after session as they work their way back towards training in the New Year 🔜 Proud of the players and the progress they have made reminding why I do this each and every day ⚽️

“Absorb” can be a good coaching cue. But in biomechanics, eccentric action in a cut or depth jump isn’t absorbing—it’s attenuating. We’re not soaking up force like a sponge 🧽 … we’re managing, redirecting, & often reusing it. Coaching cue 👍 Physics 👎

Here I am again! 👋🏻 After raising over £2,000 for the MS Trust by running last years Manchester marathon, I was so so thankful to everyone that contributed. Your donations meant to much to both myself, but importantly my Mum and all of those affected by MS 🤍 Another year has passed with no cure for MS and people continue to suffer. For us especially, the last year was even more difficult, with changes for us all to get used to as a family. Despite that, what doesn’t change is the care that we ensure our Mum gets (my brother, Nathan, deserves so much credit for this too). Whilst my Mum can count on me and Nathan to support her and be there for whatever she needs, others may not be so lucky. Did you know: £15 could pay for one an information specialist to provide telephone support to a person with MS. £100 could cover the cost to provide the Ms Trust’s Making Sense of MS guide to everybody diagnosed with MS in one week. £1,765 could pay for a newly-appointed MS specialist nurse to receive foundation training in MS care, through the MS Trusts development module. A single marathon may not seem anything special to some people, but I’ll always try to do my best to raise what I can, how I can. That’s why I’ll be running the 2025 Paris Marathon in support of the MS Trust 🏃🏻‍♂️ 18 years of my Mum having MS x 42.2km of running = £760 target!! Please help me to support the @MSTrust and the work that they do to support those with MS 💙 justgiving.com/page/jason-oke…

NEW PAPER - OPEN ACCESS ⬇️ ✅ jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo… A pleasure to be involved writing this with a brilliant authorship group 🤝🏼 Rehab must consider way more than solely ‘physical’ development ⚽️ 🧠

A great read @statsports on how GPS should GUIDE practice CCC V1 was often misinterpreted, with too much focus on hitting physical outputs via GPS metrics. The updated CCC aims to shift ‘attention’ to enhance rehab, using data to inform, not drive ⚽️ jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jo…

Having written this piece for @SportsmithHQ over 2.5 years ago (where has the time gone, by the way?!), it’s good to reflect on my thoughts then, and if/how they differ now? I wonder how many @SportsmithHQ authors have modified their practices in this time and also, how? 🧐 💭
