Amazing feeling to have passed my PhD viva on Wednesday. A big thank you to my supervisory team for helping me navigate my research which investigated the effects S&C in school children @DrJonOliver @DrRSLloyd @cjknight

@Coachgriffin88 Could have a basic programme already created that you offer for free which builds trust and is then an opportunity to up-sell that individual to be a high paying client. If the basic free programme was enough for them they probably won’t be a high ticket client anyhow.

[Ben Pullen, PhD @DrBenPullen]

@Coachgriffin88 Plenty of money in the private youth space - very few practitioners going private and there is a high demand for it if looking in right places.

Few that do try private massively undervalue themselves - not recognising the need to charge special population prices?

[Ben Pullen, PhD @DrBenPullen]

@Coachgriffin88 Maybe there’s no money in it because as a field of practitioners typically we don’t know how to make money?

@BasesSig @DrAshCox @CHERC_UoE @MikeDunky Interested in the meeting - if I could get the details that’d be amazing, thanks

Youth athletic development: It’s about movement AND muscles

@NedPartridge

"Despite the apparent stigma attached to machine-based exercise for youth, they are particularly effective for the development of muscular strength."

An example of how we incorporate some of the principles from the ramp warm up protocol into challenges for adolescent students

Hurdles are a great way of incorporating movement challenges into warm-ups!

Here's some of our students exploring different ways of challenging their stability, co-ordination, mobility and core strength before a big session! 💪🏼
