According to the Pareto Principle, 80% of results will come from 20% of the inputs. So what does this mean in sports science & performance?

The book "Risk: A User's Guide" highlights that we cannot eliminate risk but must focus our energies on boosting our “Risk Immune System”.

Bottlenecks are inevitable. Every system will have a point that limits its efficiency. Where is the bottleneck in your screening process?

Signalling is a powerful tool in our campaign to gain athlete buy-in. Humans’ actions provide an influential form of feedback.

The complexity of sporting environments means systems and research must be translated, rather than simply transplanted.

The Precision Practicality Tradeoff describes the compromise between these two factors. Here we discuss how practitioners can optimise this.
