6 years in the making.

The Sport Science Handbook launches August 2025 — a practical blueprint for coaches, sport scientists, and practitioners who want to make better decisions in sport.

This project wouldn’t exist without the many brilliant people who generously contributed their insights and time. 👇

This isn’t a textbook.

It’s a practical guide for navigating the messy, complex realities of applied sport science — built to help you:

• Think more clearly about what really matters
• Make better decisions in any environment
• Improve athlete performance & health at all levels

This month, @FYTTio has released an update that allows coaches to visually map their training buckets. This update isn’t just for looks, though. These decision trees automate training prescription when conditions for an athlete change!

[Ernie Rimer, PhD @ErnieRimer]

@FYTTio offers the only strength and conditioning platform that goes beyond alerts. It is the only platform that can interpret athlete data to automate changes to a training program in real-time, and now coaches can visualize those automations!

[Ernie Rimer, PhD @ErnieRimer]

FEATURE UPDATE: @FYTTio now allows coaches to transfer their programs to other accounts.

Using MS Excel, I have always had the ability to carry my programs forward to each new job. This has always been a limitation with software. Not any more!
