UKSCA webinar exploring Damien Harper’s research on deceleration, ACL risk, change of direction, and braking training methods for S&C coaches

Benjamin Young explores gymnastics S&C: landing mechanics, athlete availability, and profiling strategies for performance-focused coaches.

Edward Baker explores combat sport performance, punch force, athlete readiness, and data-driven coaching for strength & conditioning coaches.

Clarity and guidance to improve practitioner application and understanding of plyometrics - adaptations, movement strategy, exercise prescription and exercise progressions.

Prof JB Morin delivered an insightful presentation at the UKSCA 2024 annual conference, discussing the evolution of sprint mechanics and speed training over the past decade. Key topics included force-velocity profiling, sprint mechanics, and the importance of individualised athlete training.

Dr. Jonathan Hughes delivered an insightful presentation on eccentric training at the UKSCA 2024 conference, exploring its role in improving athletic performance across various sports. He discussed how eccentric training helps with deceleration and high-speed movements, emphasising the importance of using advanced methods to measure training transfer into performance gains.

This practical, interactive session will move through a spectrum of drills from warm up, controlled CoD into reactive CoD and finishing with reactive games.

Nic Gill is a performance coach and consultant best known for his work as S&C coach for the NZ All Blacks for the last 16 years.
