Why a sports science blog/website?
Three reasons. The first is that sports science is underrepresented in the mass media. I’ve often picked up newspapers and magazines and read news and feature article and been left thinking that there was a lot more that could have been discussed. I can think of many examples where the article I’ve read has scratched the surface, nothing more. But there’s a second, third, fourth level of insight that is often missing. I’m not saying we can provide all of these levels, but we can add to news with a fairly unique perspective to provide at least some of those insights. The second is that sports science is misunderstood, and the idea is to apply sports science to every day sports events. It’s making science more accessible, more entertaining and hopefully more interesting. I hope that when people read an article or commentary, it gives them an appreciation of the “WHY” and “HOW”, and also hopefully stimulates a bit of thought and insight into sport. And then finally, I have this Sports Man
