@Tony_Villani_ I love how that comment isnt the flex they think it might be! 😂

[Rich Clarke @RICH_AgilityLab]

@Tony_Villani_ Big BW diff between these guys?

[Rich Clarke @RICH_AgilityLab]

@ALTIS Higher Education and the MSc Program are on a mission to positively impact education and coach development.

We know that engagement with sports departments and organisations is essential to achieving this.

That is why we are seeking expressions of interest from performance departments for studentship positions in 2025/26.

Your organisation gains an embedded, developing coach who contributes real work, alongside access to a broader problem-solving support system. In return, the student benefits from a performance environment that shapes how they apply what they learn.

It is a win-win for the department, the student, and the profession.

See the attached for more information, or reach out with any interest or ideas.

@SimonBrundish 😂😂

[Rich Clarke @RICH_AgilityLab]

@SimonBrundish Long form pre-recorded content
Multiple choice exams/workbooks
Litte staff contact

All becoming more the norm!

[Rich Clarke @RICH_AgilityLab]

This is why your investment is such a joke at most institutions

A bunch of pre-recored content which you can probably ask ai to summarise, or even get online for free.

You gain a bit of knowledge but little to no real understanding, application or skill

Choose wisely

College students are now “speed-running” through higher ed:

“It takes most college students at least four years to earn a bachelor’s degree. Christie Williams finished in three months.”

[SimonBrundish @SimonBrundish]

We were at a too Uni last week for an offer day, the prof proudly espoused how good their ast:phys course will be next year because there adding 18% supervised exams

Lola has been through Law without one single in person test and an average of 3.5 hours of contact time a week

Universities are pimped up property companies

@Joe_Eisenmann As university finances become tighter
As the world moves more and more digital and institutions lack the models to adapt to it

The product will continue to suffer, as will the student outcome and ROI

Biomechanical Research Conclusions ≠ Our Coaching Focus

Stop the basic description of positions. Its low order thinking and low impact

[Rich Clarke @RICH_AgilityLab]

"Masters degrees don't prepare coaches for their career"
"The current education isn't fit for purpose"

You and I have heard variations of this for a long time

You've probably been through an UG degree and felt it
Or, you've avoided them because you're scared of it

The problem has and always will be the system. Barely able to innovate, barely able to give learners what they need.

The time has come for academically registered qualifications which aren't overly focussed on 'academics', and aren't constrained by the university where they are delivered (designed and created decades ago).

Sporting careers have moved on, your education needs to too!

ALTIS Higher Education is designed for just that

📌 World class education
📌 Designed and delivered by world class coaches
📌 For people with world class potential

[Tony Villani @Tony_Villani_]

People go over "sprint" positioning and postures all the time. Yet when we do the same for COD, people scream from the mountain tops "That's not agility training." We know that. We are just practicing like anyone would any other skill.

My philosophy has simplified over the years.

1) #GetFASTfast first
2) Learn to be "first" to be fast
3) Apply appropriate Game Speeds and what this means
4) Change directions A to B as efficient and fast as possible
5) Change directions other applicable ways.

Much more ....

If you’re under 30 and have no responsibilities, I recommend working as many hours per week as humanly possible.

You’ll never be able to work this hard again. And the compounding effects of a few years can set up your life for decades.
