Welcome to the Coaching Knife when we cut to the root of the matter. In this episode, we speak to Professor Kevin Till, Professor of Athletic Development at Leeds Beckett University and Strength and Conditioning Coach at Leeds Rhinos RLFC academy. Focusing on warm-ups, we are going to explore how they are used to prevent injury and give us performance gains.

Kev has worked in strength and conditioning with Yorkshire cricket, Yorkshire Carnegie rugby union, football with Leeds United, as well as his roles in rugby league, at Leeds Rhinos and Castleford. He completed his PhD in Sport and Exercise Science over 12 years ago, and has had seven papers published.

He has helped edit and write two books, The Science of Sport: Rugby, and published last year: The Young Rugby Player: Science and Application

His philosophy is about supporting people in the best way possible. Similar to work on 'Talent', everyone has potential, and it is how we can support creating opportunities to support as many to develop as effectively as possible.
