Whilst the two-hour discussions will focus on basketball, the learning and education from each can be applied universally to any sporting environment – perfect for coaches and performance support staff, such as strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists and performance analysts.
“These talks are a unique opportunity for the basketball community to access expert advice from the UK’s best-in-class SSM experts, especially learning how to improve the efficiency of the performance team – developing and improving athletes”, said Andy Howse – BE’s head of physiotherapy and sports science.
BE Strength and Conditioning Lead Mark Williams said: "We're really pleased to bring these series of workshops to coaches and practitioners working within the talent and performance environment. This is part of a wider piece of work to create a strong synergy between areas of performance in the development of young players in this country."
