An invitation from the University’s International Office to deliver a presentation for their International Masterclass series presented me with the opportunity to introduce colleagues with more experience of professional football than me: MSc Sport Science graduate Kristin Holm Geirsdottir, current MSc student Paul McGrath and colleague Andy Hunt. It was great to hear from all three and to explore good practice for support in situations ranging from clubs with little monitoring technology to those fully equipped with GPS etc. Audience questions generated a lively discussion at the end and allowed us to reflect further on the challenges and rewards of applied practice.
