With many in the industry trying to bridge the gap between research and practice, in this episode with 2 practitioners at Brighton Football Club, First Team Performance Physio, Adam Johnson and Sports Scientist/S&C Coach, Josh Hook we chat about what the research says, but how that differs to what they deliver and why.
