#036 - What Is Biomechanics? - Paul Felton

Dr Paul Felton is a human movement scientist and cricket biomechanics specialist who has spent his career studying how athletes really move and how coaches can better understand performance. With experience in both elite sport and academia, he works at the intersection of biomechanics, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, and long term athletic development. In this conversation he breaks down complex movement science into practical ideas that coaches, athletes, and parents can actually use.Expect to learn what biomechanics actually means and why most coaches already apply it without realising, whether there is ever one perfect technique, how social media has polarised the coaching world, if you can truly change movement patterns later in life, how strength training fits into youth development, and how to think critically about viral training advice. This episode challenges black and white thinking and offers a more nuanced way to approach performance, injury risk, and coaching.-Get in contact below:YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richie O'Brien - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/richieobrienx/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@richieobrienx⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/richieobrienx/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
