This webinar addresses how the delivery of biomechanical support to athletes has changed over the last twenty years and identifies some key principles of providing practical and performance impacting support to athletes in the applied setting.
The presenter Dr. Philip Graham-Smith shares his experiences and the cultural considerations of working with both elite senior and youth athletes both in the UK and Qatar.
The extent to which new technologies are enhancing support (or otherwise) is also discussed. Participants are challenged to reflect on how their support is making an impact in the real world.
