Injury risk screening; what a physio needs vs what a strength and conditioning coach needs with Adam Johnson (Brighton & Hove Albion) & Josh Hook (S&C Coach at Brighton & Hove Albion)

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. Both these guys work in the first team at Brighton and like any working in professional sport, have to make compromises due to player buy-in, facilities and staff numbers.
