Description
Collaborative, thoughtful, and well delivered sports science has the ability to provide key information, knowledge and understanding to support athletes and coaches in the pursuit of optimal performance.
While science is the base knowledge of any applied scientist, the skill sets and understanding required stretch far beyond this. Collaboration, communication, relationship building, and practical understanding are all essential to work as part of a performance team and ‘understand what matters, then measure what matters the most’.
In this podcast series, in a relaxed format, we will chat openly and honestly with coaches, athletes, and scientists about their experiences (both good and bad) with sport science and sport scientists, to help developing and aspiring applied scientists understand the industry, their role, and ultimately how to be effective and contribute to athletic performance.
