Transfer of training, constraints led approach & coaching speed with academy football players with Jon Goodwin (Academy Head of Sports Science at Fulham FC)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Academy Head of Sports Science, Jon Goodwin. Jon comes on the podcast 3 weeks into a new role at Fulham after leaving the Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee when he was in charge of their strength and conditioning arm. I was lucky enough to attend St Mary's University when Jon was programme leader and he is an incredible communicator, educator and coach. In this episode, Jon chats about his thoughts on movement assessments, cueing and common misunderstandings which have been highlighted when he has been coaching the coaches over the last 25 years.

Hope you enjoy this episode with Jon Goodwin.
