You may not know, but Core Cambridge deliver a Strength & Conditioning module as part of Anglia Ruskin University’s Sports Science degree course, and the students get to attend our centre as part of their studies.
At the end of Dan’s training session today, a press photographer was taking photos for a food-related news item about his attempt to swim the Atlantic, so we thought you’d appreciate a few behind-the-scenes shots.
This weekend, we presented a coach education session on behalf of England Athletics. The session was designed to help coaches understand, diagnose and help to prevent injuries in their athletes.
For this week’s Therapist staff training, our guest speaker was Greg Reid, Lead Physiotherapist at Cambridge United Football Club.
There’s currently a lot of misconceptions and misinformation surrounding the topic of coaching young athletes. The fact is that young athletes can actually start learning movement patterns and other strength & conditioning concepts an awful lot earlier than the general population expects.
These photographs of Aisha, a young athlete that we coach, graphically illustrate this point.
The lovely young gentleman before you in these pictures is a nutjob. Completely crazy. Ga Ga.
In May 2010, Dan will attempt to swim from Nova Scotia to France, then cycle from France to Alaska, and then run from Alaska to Nova Scotia. If your brain hasn’t melted and your eyes popped out on stalks in reading that, then we suggest you go back and read the sentence again.
One of Hayley’s athletes, Jonnie Peacock, has been chosen by BBC East region as ‘one to watch’ for 2012. As a result, the BBC filmed part the training session yesterday for the evening news bulletin.
Last weekend Ed took part in the latest Rowing Ireland land-based training camp. Sadly, because he was back-to-back non-stop coaching the athletes, he didn’t actually get chance to take photos of the guys in action (hopefully next time) – but he did snap some pics on his phone of the places that he visited on his journey.
Being a major university town for the last 800 years, there’s obviously a lot of sport being done in Cambridge by a lot of students. For those that don’t know, Cambridge University is made up of a collection of individual colleges, and each of the colleges have their own sports teams (which leads to some interesting inter-college competition!)
We thought you might like to see a few cheeky behind-the-scenes snaps of a photoshoot that Hayley was involved in today.
