How do kids get better at coaching footballers when the main frame of reference is gps.

So much reference to GPS metrics that rarely paint a rich picture of context.

Even worse it’s used to set “limits” on rehab.

If your rehab is “constrained” by what the player does in a game , you will inevitably under prepare.

This season’s been special. 🙌
From CPD workshops around the country 🧳 to deep-dive mentorship calls every week 💻 —

I’ve had the privilege of meeting coaches who want more!

More clarity. 🔍
More challenge. 🧠
More connection. 🤝

Every conversation reminded me: the best coaches don’t just coach — they reflect, evolve, and stay hungry.

SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES. 🧩

That’s what our mentorship is built for. An environment to sharpen your eye 👁️, pressure test your ideas ⚙️, and create confidence in your coaching 🚀.

If you’ve been to a workshop, joined a call, or even just followed from a distance — thank you. 🙏

For those ready for the next step... you know where to find us. 💬

👀Connecting your coaching eye to your clinical reasoning!

Observe the leg cycle of the leg closest to the camera on each drill.

Can you see small medium then big elliptical on the right limb and very limited ones on the left?

What does limb movement and synergies say about muscle properties and pelvic structure ?

Does “technique” matter?

Well only if you want to load specific tissues and create protective system tension.

We had a really interesting 10.6 sprinter with repeated right side hamstring strains over the past year join our hamstring workshop. @SSCSantry

💪🏾Isokinetic tests have him really really strong on both limbs.

🔋Emg told a story of right side dominance and good lateral to medial hamstring balance whilst the left side was far more imbalanced with medial hamstrings dominating action that we assumed the lateral would.

🧐When we went on to the track, we saw similar things.

🚩Notably a reluctance to open up into late swing phase, avoiding long lever eccentric stress on the distal hamstrings…. ON THE LEFT LEG!

Well this was noticed across a range of exercises velocities and complexities.

🏃🏾‍♀️ Drills with speed and locomotion, static fast drills as well as static slow drills.

🧐Movement illuminates structural qualities.

🧐Can you spot the difference in these two leg cycles?

Could it be that the right side is repeatedly hurt due to the deficit in the left side.

After all, if you can’t integrate late swing phase, then you will have poor negative foot speed. You will be able to accelerate…. But all the work will be on the right side the deeper you get into a sprint.

Oldie but Goldie!

What, why and how is @coachrgrubbs doing such a good job preparing and rehabbing players in the NFL ….

Do your research, it was happening way before he was in the big leagues!

1/3 Sprinting and hamstring injuries 🏃🏿‍♂️

My day to day working with football codes is mostly spent dealing with lower limb injuries.

The tide is shifting for physios and coaches who are trying to assess hamstring injury risk factors and address them competently.
