Functional Screening for Athletic Performance and Injury Prevention...Gordon Brett Strength & Conditioning Coach, Munster Rugby

"The workshop will cover how we can improve performance by ensuring that each major joint's ability to produce power and complete technical movement's are not being restricted through poor mobility/stability of the muscles that effect joint range of movement and power production. We will also cover how to assess athletes movements and discover compensations or limiting factors in their movement that may decrease performance or increase their risk of injury. The workshop will be both theory and practical based and is aimed at athletes and coaches of all levels. At the end the participants will have an understanding of how to screen and apply practical strategies to improve the performance of athletes and reduce their risk of injury."
