Viva passed and PhD complete! It’s been a long 3 and a half years full of questions, drafts, edits, and a lot of coffee.

Feeling proud and thankful, especially to all the schools and clubs that engaged with me throughout this process.

[Phil Kearney @kearney_phil]

Games-Based Approaches are increasingly popular. In our latest research (@kinnerker @drstephenharvey Mark Lyons @PessLimerick @SportHumanPerf), we investigated how an intervention impacted:
⚽︎ coaching practice
⚽︎ player perceptions and
⚽︎ player performance outcomes

[Phil Kearney @kearney_phil]

Coaches and applied sport scientists are selecting one intervention over another all the time. How do they make sure they are selecting something that works over snake oil? That is a complicated question.

Proud of this paper where we explore laterality profiles (bilateral, mixed handed, mixed footed, crossed lateral) of intercounty footballers and whether left sided were more bilateral than right sided players.
