Training load monitoring; reporting, statistical use in reports and gaining influence with Steve Barrett (First Team Lead Sports Scientist)

This is the first in person podcast I have done and it was great to chat to First Team Lead Sports Scientist at Hull City, Steve Barrett. Steve is a GREAT guy and like a few of the other guests I have had on recently, is a 'pracademic', someone who has a foot in both the academic and applied camp. With Steve's PhD investigating PlayerLoad, we naturally focus a lot around training monitoring but also dig into issues which he faces at Hull with multiple managers over the last few years. Enjoy! In this episode, you will learn - Who is Steve Barrett (background, education and current role) Current role Changing of roles, responsibilities and influence with the different managers Needs analysis with each manager How does delivery change Training load monitoring, GPS, accelerometer data Reporting and demonstrating the information across to the coach. (Excel, power bi, power apps) Statistical use within daily,weekly and monthly/yearly reports and application Applying research- Using it as a guide and due diligence to a player/coach Steve can be found on Twitter @stevebarrett5 Keep up to date with everything that is going on with the podcast by following on Twitter @strengthofsci or visiting strengthofscience.com.
