How do you build stronger, more powerful footballers when there is barely enough time to recover between matches? In this episode, I share how my approach to strength and conditioning has evolved after years working in elite Olympic sport and the English Premier League.
The conversation with Martin Buchheit explores why strength remains a cornerstone of elite football performance, how to individualise training across a congested season, and why chasing the "perfect" gym session may no longer be the answer.
I explain the concept of nano dosing, using small but meaningful strength exposures throughout the week, while discussing minimum effective dose, player monitoring, injury mitigation, and balancing long term athletic development with match readiness.
