FMPA Conference 2022 – Workshop 3

WITH THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS

Workshop 3

FRIDAY 17TH JUNE 2022

DEVELOPING PRODUCTIVITY IN FOOTBALL

What can organisations do to enhance the quality of feedback and review of interdisciplinary delivery to athletes to ensure high levels of productivity? 

INTRODUCTION

This workshop is designed to explore various technologies, resources and innovations to develop the day to day planning, delivery and review of our training stimulus and dose response and thereby improve the quality of support they provide to the players. It should be noted to proceed with caution as we have often found over time that Briliant Basics do come out on top in most situations. The real question is can the human touch reduce how brilliant this can be and should we rely on more objective technological advancement in certain areas to get more brilliant outcomes and in a labour saving manner.

If innovation can be utilised to refine, automate and improve the motivation of the player to work to their targets and simultaneously improve the ability of the practitioner to focus on their planning, interpersonal skills and coaching eye then surely this is a win-win situation.

AVAILABLE 17TH JUNE 2022 AT 4PM

NUTRITION EDUCATION STRATEGIES WITHIN ACADEMY FOOTBALL

The presentation will provide a brief overview of the nutritional requirements for academy footballer players. There will then be a discussion around potential strategies used to deliver nutrition education and support throughout all academy players, families, and coaching staff. The final part of the presentation will outline ways in which continued education can be achieved, both at the club and when players leave the training ground, by utilising an online nutrition education platform.

COMPLEXITY OF COLLECTION, AGGREGATION, AND COMMUNICATION OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE DATA IN US SPORT

The 5 major sports in the US have such completely different context to the environmental constructs, thus requiring unique strategies to be employed. Ice, grass, artificial turf, and wood and a massive range of in-game and practice densities all contribute to the difficulty of effectively establishing processes and then maintaining these with authentic athlete engagement.

All this while making sure the priority of player health is first with game performance a close second. Answering what are the current data collection streams and strategies used in US Sport as well as a look at what may be on the horizon.
