Over the last few weeks I’ve seen more and more collegiate-level sports science positions become available.

The question becomes…

“What does a collegiate sports scientist do?”

Here’s a little deeper insight into this new and exciting position 🧵 Side note:

I service our Olympic sports squads (~300 athletes), so some of my roles & responsibilities will be quite different than folks who service single sports.

I found this passage about the ACL to be very interesting (Duthon, 2006).

An ACL tears 40-60 ms after landing / cutting, way before an athlete consciously processes what occurred.

Those "bad biomechanics" you see = an athlete not having enough time & space.

🧵incoming... If there were no temporal or spatial constraints within a sporting environment, athletes would be able to perform any athletic movement pretty safely (i.e., no risk for injury)

But we know that is not how sports work.
