THE PAST • MANAGER WAS GOD – RESPECT FOR MEDICAL STAFF • LITTLE PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE • LITTLE CLOSED SEASON FITNESS MAINTENANCE • NO RECOVERY STRATEGY FOLLOWING A GAME OR HARD TRAINING • NO STRUCTURE TO THE PRE-SEASON TRAINING PROGRAMME • LITTLE LIASON BETWEEN MANAGER, COACHES AND MEDICAL STAFF • THE TRAINING WAS UNSTRUCTURED, WITH NO SCIENTIFIC APPROACH • LITTLE PLAYER EDUCATION • NO DOPING CONTROL (WELL JUST A LITTLE!) • NO SPECIFIC MEDICAL INSURANCE IN PLACE • NO SPECIALISING SURGEONS / PHYSICIANS • NO SPECIFIC PLAYER MEDICAL RECORDS, I.E. A MEDICAL CAREER PASSPORT • A QUICK OR NO PLAYER PRE SIGNING MEDICAL • NO CONCENTRATION ON THE PHYSICAL / PHYSIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF TALENTED YOUNG / YOUTH PLAYERS • NO ACADEMIES OF FOOTBALL (9-18 YEARS OLD)
CHANGES AND ADVANCES • THE PROFESSIONAL STANDING OF SPORTS MEDICINE AND SCIENCE • SPORTS MEDICINE AND SCIENCE EDUCATION
PRESENT “TEAM” SURGEONS - (MULTIPLE) (HOME & ABROAD) PHYSICIANS NUTRITIONISTS DIETICIANS OSTEOPATHS SPORTS THERAPISTS CHIROPODISTS PODIATRISTS RADIOLOGISTS PARAMEDICS MANAGER COACHES PLAYERS + DOCTOR(S) PHYSIOS SPORTS SCIENTISTS PAST “TEAM” “DOCTOR” LOCAL SURGEON PLAYERS
THE EMERGENCE OF NEW SURGICAL TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION TECHNIQUES • NEW TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT • THE EMERGENCE OF NEW PROFESSIONS AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS • SPECIALISATION OF SURGEONS, PHYSICIANS AND THERAPISTS
MEDICAL / SCIENCE REGULATIONS PUT IN PLACE BY GOVERNMENT BODIES OF SPORT • SPORTS MEDICINE / SCIENCE RESEARCH • GIVES MORE KNOWLEDGE • MORE DIRECTION FOR ACTION • SPORTS MEDICINE / SCIENCE EQUIPMENT ADVANCES • NEW INNOVATIONS • INJURY PREVENTION STRATEGIES • RECOVERY STRATEGIES • COMPETITOR / ATHLETE / PLAYER PERFORMANCE MONITORING (PHYSICAL / PHYSIOLOGICAL)
THE PAST THE OLD PLAYER
THE PRESENT THE MODERN PLAYER
YOUNG COMPETITOR / ATHLETE / PLAYER DEVELOPMENT / MEASUREMENT AND EDUCATION
Injury Proneness Motor Ability Energy Stores Somatotype Agility Technical Ability (Genetic + Technical Coaching) Power Flexibility Speed Strength Endurance THE COMPLETE PLAYER
Speed Endurance Aerobic Endurance Speed Flexibility Power Strength Balance Coordination FITNESS COMPONENTS
EXERCISE SCIENCE/FITNESS AND CONDITIONING EDUCATION AND TRAINING • Development of: • Strength • Power • Endurance • Agility • Balance • Co-ordination • Proprioception • Speed • Speed Endurance • Acceleration
EXERCISE SCIENCE/FITNESS AND CONDITIONING EDUCATION AND TRAINING • Each person has an in-built genetic limit for all physical and physiological attributes • Unless specific training is applied the genetic limits will not be reached • The athletic ability of the player will not have been realized • A development programme for each individual player is required to optimise performance.
EXERCISE SCIENCE/FITNESS AND CONDITIONING EDUCATION AND TRAINING • “WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY” • THERE ARE DEFINED DEVELOPMENT WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY
EXERCISE SCIENCE/FITNESS AND CONDITIONING EDUCATION AND TRAINING • The Physical / Physiological development begins from an early age • Development of specific athletic attributes commences at different ages to coincide with neurological and orthopaedic development of the growing player for example: Balance and Co-ordination • Development begins at a young age and the body’s central nervous system is developing Strength and Power • Addressed by a specific training programme later in life e.g. 14, 15, 16 years old
“PAYMASTERS” AND “CONTROLLERS” • ADVANCEMENT IN SPORTS MEDICINE REQUIRES FINANCES • FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR ACTION • IT TOOK 10 YEARS FOR ME TO REALISE I WAS PREACHING AND TRYING TO INFLUENCE THE WRONG PEOPLE… MY MEDICAL COMMITTEE!!!
“PAYMASTERS” • THE PREMIER LEAGUE • THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE • COMMITTEES OF SPORTS GOVERNING BODIES • UK SPORT • CHAIRMEN OF FOOTBALL / RUGBY CLUBS ETC. • THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS’ ASSOCIATION FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! ADVICE: • ALWAYS INVITE, INCLUDE NON-MEDICAL / SCIENCE PEOPLE OF INFLUENCE FROM THE ABOVE LIST TO SERVE ON YOUR COMMITTEE
“CONTROLLERS” • TO INFLUENCE CHANGE, OR INTRODUCE NEW PRACTICES, OR REQUIRE INCREASED FINANCES / STAFF FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES, INFLUENCE: • CLUB MANAGER – “GOD” • FINANCE DIRECTORS • PERFORMANCE DIRECTORS • AS PROFESSIONALS WE NEED TO BE INCLUSIVE NOT EXCLUSIVE
Players are Assets Fewer Players available Fewer Assets Reduced Performance Pressure on Manager and Squad Points Achieved League Position Fans, Chairman Directors Unhappy Reduced Results Finances through gate Sponsorship Opportunities THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE
THE PAST – “FAITH HEALERS”, “WIZARDS” AND “WALLY’S” • MYTHS – COMMON PRACTICE TO HEAR THE FOLLOWING: • “HE’S A FAST HEALER” • “HE’S HAVING INTENSIVE TREATMENT” • PREDICTION BY THE MANAGER – “HE WILL BE OUT FOR ‘X’ WEEKS!” • “IF HE CAN RUN, HE CAN PLAY” • “HE IS HAVING A LATE FITNESS TEST”

MORE PLAYER MEASUREMENT / MONITORING / MAINTENANCE AND DEVELOPMENT • SPEED • STRENGTH • ENDURANCE • POWER • GPS SYSTEM • PROZONE
INDIVIDUAL PLAYER IDENTIFICATION OF PHYSICAL / PHYSIOLOGICAL STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES • SPECIFIC TRAINING FOR THE NEEDS OF THE GAME • SPECIFIC INJURY PREVENTION STRATEGIES • AUDITING OF INJURIES • FOR THE SPORT AND FOR THE CLUB • ADVANCES IN: • SURGICAL TECHNIQUES • TREATMENT TECHNIQUES • EMERGENCE OF COMPLIMENTARY THERAPIES
