Pacey Performance Podcast

Return to play processes, hamstring injury prevention, and the ASH test with Ben Ashworth (Director of Performance at AC Sparta Prague)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Director of Performance at AC Sparta Prague, Ben Ashworth. I first spoke to Ben at the start of 2017 when he was at Arsenal FC. At that time the Ash test was still in its infancy and although Ben could detail what it was and how he uses it, he wasn't able to explain some of the work he was doing at various different clubs. This part two with Ben allowed me to dive deeper on some of the great work he has done as a consultant in baseball and rugby as well as his move overseas and into a Director of Performance at AC Sparta Prague.

If you enjoyed this episode with Ben, you may enjoy these other episodes from coaches working in football; Tom Little, Mathieu Lacome or Jack Sharkey.

I hope you enjoy this episode with Ben Ashworth.
