This talk is designed to assist coaches/trainers
Coaches want their team fit and healthy so that they can train and compete at their best.
Having players/athletes injured or unwell and sitting out of training or missing that
important game or event can be very frustrating for both the coaching staff and the
players/athletes.
Is there any way to cut down or avoid having your players out of action? Yes there is.
Research:
Current research has looked at the instances of injuries among players and a number of
possible causes have been identified. During this free talk Neil will discuss the most up-todate information of injury prevention, tips for effective training as well as highlighting the
principles of smart training.
Q&A’s
Following the talk which will last approximately 1 hour, refreshments will be available and
there will be a question and answer session where coaches and trainers will have an
opportunity to ask Neil questions on any training/injury concern that they may have.
