2009 is upon us and 2008 is drawing to a very quick end. What a year it has been within the world of sport and I am sure 2009 is going to provide much excitement to all of us sports lovers. I am looking forward to 2009 and I hope that this blog will grow from strength to strength, reach more people, stimulate out-of-the-box thinking, encourage new ideas and ways of doing things and ultimately contribute to the world of sport participation.
2009 I plan on throwing out new ideas, challenging our present way of thinking and implementing ideas and hopefully through the posts and the comments placed we will be able to achieve this. Here is a list of some expected themes, topics and discussion points in the upcoming year.
- The Suite vs The Man - what role is the external contributors making to athletic success
- The athletic individual as a machine
- Recovery methods revised
- New trends in S&C
- The hype around the swim suites & the contribution to over 100 World Records in 2008
- Interviews with individual athletes on all levels
- The roles of the athlete, coach, parent & administrator
- Strength gains in the gym - does it really help the athlete
- Various programs uncovered
- Reflections of coaching athletes.
Hoepfully these already stimulate thought and I look forward tol interacting with you over 2009, on these and many more topics. Please feel free to comment and I look forward to it so that we can build interaction between Strength & Conditioning professionals and coaches.
Keep well & watch this space
Steven
