124: Are Footballers Destroying Their In-Season Performance With Too Much Off-Season Gym Training?

In episode 124, the Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sam Pepys, joins us on the show.

Specifically, Sam will be discussing:

• How players use the off-season
• Does the extra training lead to more injuries
• How to optimise off-season training

“Sam is a Strength and Conditioning Coach with experience of working in a number of different sports. Sam has been fortunate to have worked alongside some leading coaches and practitioners. Having worked within professional football, he possesses an adept understanding of coaching, and competing at elite level. He continues to work within football, and the endurance world, helping athletes prepare for distance running and triathlons.

At SP Performance, our ethos stems from gaining a strong understanding of our clients, how they function and perform.

“Not everyone is the same. That’s why it’s important to make it about the individual at hand, specific to them and what their body is capable of.”

By endeavouring to evolve, our coaches seek to apply a high but accessible level of service. Adept at understanding our clients and their needs, we aim to deliver an all encompassing approach, matching the goal with the nutritional requirements, and the physical capabilities with the challenge, helping clients to achieve a renewed sense of wellbeing.”
