In this recap episode of Peak Performance for Soccer, Alex and Adam reflect on Chapter 6: Player Monitoring & Practical Application, featuring insights from Lewis MacMillan (Fulham FC) and Lorcán Mason (PhD researcher). Together, they break down how to balance internal and external load, integrate subjective and objective data, and make fast, informed decisions in real-world environments. The discussion explores the “dose and response” model, managing injury risk through Fulham’s ‘Eyes On’ period, and applying monitoring principles in both high- and low-resource settings. Alex and Adam also highlight the importance of communication, critical decision-making, and the art of interpreting data with a coach’s touch.
