About Andy: “I started working in football back in Northern Ireland, played a little bit, and realised I wasn’t good enough to succeed at a higher level. 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."
