[Corey Twine @CoreyTwine]

Human Performance teams are often built by assembling highly skilled specialists across strength and conditioning, athletic training, physical therapy, sports science, nutrition, psychology, medicine, coaching, and operations. Each discipline matters, but the presence of multiple experts does not automatically create integration.

Burns and Collins’ scoping review on interdisciplinary practice in performance sport reinforces this point. They highlight that effective collaboration depends on more than technical expertise. It requires shared language, clear roles, facilitative leadership, organizational structure, communication, culture, and strong interpersonal qualities. In other words, integration is not just a byproduct of having good people in the same room. It is an active process that must be studied, developed, and led.

One point that stands out is the need to develop practitioners who can operate across disciplines, not just within their own. The paper raises the idea that education may need to occur both inside and outside a practitioner’s specific discipline. That matters because we often assume that once someone moves into leadership, they naturally understand how to conduct the orchestra. I am not sure that is true.

Maybe Human Performance needs more intentional curriculum around integration itself: how to lead interdisciplinary teams, build shared language, manage role clarity, translate between disciplines, and coordinate decision making around the athlete, operator, or crewmember. The future may not only require better specialists. It may require people formally trained to integrate the specialists into one coherent system.

Boxing fans! I promise you, stop listening to these frauds who’ve never boxed. They haven’t got a clue they just repeat what they hear… “downloading data” is the latest one… ask them what it actually feels like. And PLEASE! Broadcasters, use the boxers!
