With the ever changing competitive environment of professional sport, we are constantly looking for an edge. Using an evidence based approach to challenging the status quote of strength and conditioning in professional football, we looked to appoint a company that embraced this challenge. With their experience across a range of sports, Sport981 provided us with a full time Conditioning and Rehabilitation Coach working closely with our Medical and Strength and Conditioning departments. I was very impressed with the level of knowledge and expertise provided by Sport981 during the Premier League Season and FA cup campaign and would like to take the opportunity to thank them for their support.
