Very excited by this project. Good mentorship opportunities are extremely valuable but not always the easiest to find.
“Being able to pick the brains of someone with ‘skin in the game’ is invaluable”. Introducing our next mentor: Fran Silver! Fran is the lead sports scientist & rehabilitation S&C coach with the Arsenal Women’s First Team, & has previously worked with both Fulham FC & Watford FC.

As a practitioner in team sports, converting athletics world records into average m/s really puts the speeds into perspective: 400 m 9.3 m/s for 43 secs 😮 800 m 7.9 m/s for 100 secs 😮 1500 m 7.3 m/s for 206 secs 😮 10000 m 6.4 m/s for 26 mins! Marathon 5.8 m/s for 2 hours!!

Worth resharing this at this time of year.
A ‘useful’ guide for linear running distances (from 5 m to 125 m give or take 1-2 m) on a standard (105 x 68 m) football pitch. Or just keep it simple and use a trundle-wheel 😐

Does anyone have any good recommendations for sport science mentors and/or BASES supervisors?

The growth in women’s football is amazing. When I started I never would’ve thought I’d witness such a scene. Kudos to the players, supporters and staff who’ve made it all possible.

I was a right smartarse at school and regularly questioned the maths teacher as to when I’d ever use trigonometry in adult life. Well, it’s happened! I’m sorry Mr Baxter, you were right. (Turns out it was a complete waste of time, but still!)

This is brilliant.

Players scuffing up the penalty spot prior to the opposition taking the kick really doesn’t sit well with me. What other sport would allow tampering with the playing surface like that? Should be a straight red IMO, it’s just blatant cheating.

What is likely part of every S&C coach’s origin story? I don’t think these can be beaten!

If you want to run at these speeds on a treadmill, convert them to kph by multiplying them by 3.6… 33.5 to run the 400 m WR 28.4 for 800 m 26.3 for 1500 m 23 for 10000 m 20.9 for 42000 m Try not to fall off the back!

React/Race/Realise - introduce competition and drive intent to see how well the movement holds up. Depending on the goal, introduce sporting concepts to blend the physical output with tactical/technical contexts
