When I watch the incredible Cosmic Eye video (below), I think of a particularly desirable skillset of a support staff member: the ability to vary one’s perspective. Practitioners need the ability to zoom out to view “the universe”, to zoom in to “the quarks”, as well as every level in between. Our universe requires the practitioner to consider the annual team sport schedule, the 4-year Olympic cycle, or the youth athlete’s overall pathway to senior sport. The quarks represent the ...| Global Perf Insights
I am proud to share news of a new publication with my good friend and former colleague at the Buffalo Bills, Will Greenberg. Our editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine is entitled 'Why 'best practice' is not always best in sport'. It is the culmination of many, many discussions on the complexity of performance and injury. We illustrate the application of Dave Snowden's Cynefin Framework to try to understand and respond to injury and performance decisions. We contend that the quest f| Global Perf Insights

In this post, guest author Scott McLean explains the characteristics of a complex systems and how systems thinking can be utilised in the context of athlete health.Athlete health has become one of the most discussed issues in modern sport, yet despite increasingly more availability to technology and data, prevention protocols and support systems, athletes’ health continues decline (1). This is due, in part, to limited knowledge regarding factors beyond the athlete that contribute to these i...| Global Perf Insights
