I am privileged to welcome Dr. Paul Read @PaulRea64657771 who joins me from London. Paul is a senior lecturer of Strength & Conditioning at St Mary's University in London & has a wealth of knowledge to share, having worked at the highest level as a coach and rehabilitation specialist with elite athletes. Paul has a special interest in youth athlete development; specifically the neuromuscular mechanisms involved in injury occurrence and training adaptations.
Paul has published numerous peer-reviewed journals as well as presented his ideas at various international and national conferences, all of which have been highly influential in the field. In addition, Paul recently finished his Phd in which some of his key interests were around injury prevention and screening in the youth athlete population.
- Who is Paul Read. His background, previous jobs and current work.
- Why there is a rapid increase in injury rates amongst young male footballers around the ages of 13
- Why young players are at a higher risk of injury during the time of their peak height velocity (PHV)
- How the types of injury change as a young athlete matures
- Paul's methods for monitoring youth athletes (especially football players)
- About Paul's 'Injury Risk Factor Hierarchical Model'
- What the 'Neuromuscular Feedforward Strategy' is and how you can use it
- The 'Tuck Jump' injury screening assessment & it's 10 point criteria
- How to manage a player who is demonstrating excessive knee valgus in screening
