Specifically Eric will be looking at: • What a day looks like as Director of Health and Performance at the New York Yankees • Shoulder injuries from assesment to programming • How owning your own facilities compares to working for an organisation About Eric: “I joke, I was a fantastically mediocre athlete, and like many fantastically mediocre athletes, that leads me to seek out better ideas on how to improve, and that led to me coaching. I co-founded CSP, we had a facility just west of Boston Massachusetts that opened in 2007, and in 2014 we opened our second location in Palm Springs Beach Gardens in Florida. I do a lot of writing, speaking and consulting, I have my own podcast as well. I also recently signed on as Director of Player Health and Performance at the new York Yankees. So I wear a few different hats in both the public and private sector. I’m also a father and husband, I’ve got three daughters as well.” Downloadable Resources: 5 Must-Read Injury & Rehab Research Reviews https://app.scienceforsport.com/5mrrr-injury-prevention * * * Thank you to our sponsors We'd like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting this amazing podcast.

Then I entered into the world of medicine through the back door, I started off as a physio and then decided to study medicine. When I finished studying, I started working in the Irish league. Thankfully I got a job with the national team in Northern Ireland, stayed there for four or five years and then moved over to Liverpool, was at Liverpool for nearly 7 years and finished up as the head of medical services there, before starting at FIFA as their medical director about three weeks ago” The Science for Sport '5 Must-Read Research Reviews on Injury Prevention & Rehab' document is available to download here... https://app.scienceforsport.com/5mrrr-injury-prevention-2 Here is the downloadable tool to determine whether mass gatherings can take place.

In our first episode, coach, best-selling author, keynote speaker and high-performance consultant Brett Bartholomew joins us. Specifically Brett will be looking at: • Whether we isolate ourselves from other industries • What we can learn from other industries • What other industries can learn from us • What the future holds for interaction between industries About Brett: "I am a strength coach, author, speaker and entrepreneur. Long story short I’ve been a strength coach for over 15 years, I’ve worked with athletes of all ages, predominantly NFL, military, fighters, baseball, but had just as much fun working with high school kids and youth as well. I wrote a book in 2017 called Conscious Coaching, and by the grace of god it took off and became an Amazon international bestseller. That launched into a lot of the work that I’m doing now with corporations and teams, specifically on building buy in or solving people problems. A lot of what I do now aside from coaching is helping people with organisational leadership. How to get people out of their own way, ego, agendas, biases, Machiavellian games, and things like that that go on in elite organisations. Whether that be a sport team or fortune 500 business. I go in and help them solve those problems. I’ve always be fascinated by people. It’s a rabbit hole I go down early and often. Its part of my PhD program, so that’s the gist of it."
