Had this very conversation with the British Athletics Head of Performance last week. It’s not spoken about — nor researched — anywhere near enough. We know very little about how to mitigate potential negative performance effects

Congratulations to British Athletics men’s and women’s teams on winning their heats, and great job by ukr.athletic men on running a season’s best 🏃🏻🏃‍♀️🇬🇧🇺🇦

Finally got round to successfully defending my PhD thesis today! Maybe because I already had ~10+ years’ experience working in sport before starting my PhD, I can hand on ❤️ say that 9 years later it has had the biggest positive influence on my APPLIED practice 1/2

Congratulations James Wild, an excellent achievement and a body of work that you can really be proud of 👏

Genuine question. What do you call someone (in a professional sense) whose work sits here?

Not sure how long this thread will eventually be — but if you’re into speed and team sports, I highly recommend bookmarking it, and following along James has done some important work in this area over the last few years — and makes some really key points in this thread so far ⤵️

This is excellent. For anyone who has read this and is serious about doing meaningful applied research in sprinting, make sure to go through the relevant parts of James’ thesis once it is available…it’s a rare beast full of rigorous science and genuine application 👏
