Tim Stevenson (Head of Exercise Science & Handstands) and David "Jacko" Jackson (Head of Human Flags) are both Strength and Conditioning coaches and Founders of the "School of Calisthenics".

In this episode they discuss;

• Their accidental route into calisthenics in their own training and coaching. 

• Why Fun and Experimentation are a key element for them in training and coaching.

• The multiple potential benefits physically and mentally in implementing calisthenics with youth athletes.

• Why simply adding load might just be "Lazy" coaching.

• How calisthenics ability might differ with later vs early maturers.

• How alternative forms of training are often neglected in S&C degree programs.
