  • Tests of Value

    In this second episode of The Ground Negotiation Podcast we discuss assessment in its many guises.

    We explore the topic as it relates to injury and return to sport in critical manner as we tease out what's important to the injured person but also to the practitioner.

    Assessment in its current form in the prevailing literature has shifted almost entirely to the quantitative aspect. We put forth an argument for the value of qualitative information in movement analysis but also in history taking.

    We are passionate about this topic because a valuable assessment is a time saver, relationship builder and journey mapper when done effectively.


    Enjoy!!

  • Purpose and Process with John Kiely
    In this episode we interview one of the most thoughtful and progressive minds in applied sports and exercise science - John Kiely. John is most widely known for his papers questioning widely held beliefs around periodization. In this interview we look mostly at his other work including coordination, rehabilitation and stress. John gives us some brilliant insight into the complex science behind building relationships in rehabilitation and how coordination should be trained and relearned post-injury.

  • Performance Health
    In this episode we discuss the term Performance Health and what it means to us across the continuum of physical development. We discuss how Performance Health looks in action while discussing it's art and science. We make a case for how we see it fit in the circumstances we each work in. We make regular reference to Xavier Roy's (our friend) recent article in SimpliFaster (https://simplifaster.com/articles/sports-academics-training-medical-school/) and Craig Pickering's recent series for HMMRMedia (http://www.hmmrmedia.com/pickering/).

  • Coaching female and male athletes - the reality and the assumptions (with Taylor Lorbiecki)
    In this episode we change the format to an interview. Our first guest Taylor Lorbiecki and co-host Donie Fox are those being interviewed by Tracy. Taylor is an Athletic Development coach working in the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs. She has a unique perspective on sports participation and coaching based on her own sporting accolades. We discuss the real and perceived differences between male and female sports, and athletes. This episode is influenced heavily by Dr. Sophia Nimphius recent presentation on the topic - https://youtu.be/iq6zGfD9s-Y. As coaches of female teams both Donie and Taylor describe their approaches and how it has evolved from their own competing days. We discuss how athletic preparation differs between male and female sports and how that is only sometimes appropriate. We dive into the culture around the provision of facilities and funding for female sports and how that creates more of a disadvantage than perceived and generalised differences between males and females.
