Jo Clubb on the Intersection of Science and Sports by RobertsonTrainingSystems published on 2022-02-02T22:41:40Z The performance consultant, writer, and speaker, Jo Clubb, has always seen herself as a big science nerd with a deep love for sports. And though she has worked as a sports scientist for several teams-– including the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, and the Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.—Jo wanted to have a wider impact in the sports science industry. To this end, Jo founded her company, Global Performance Insights. Jo is passionate about driving growth and athletic performance through uncovering scientific insights with the use of research and technology. Jo joins me today to discuss the evolution of sports science in elite sports. She shares how a kids’ science show sparked her interest in sports science and describes what led her to work internationally. She outlines how scientific processes can impact performance and help with objective decision-making. Jo describes how data can be a vehicle for conversations and connecting the dots for athletes. She also explains what having an ‘external sounding board’ entails and underscores the value of diversity of thoughts and ideas. “Performance is interconnected; it is driven by working in an interdisciplinary manner rather than in silos.” - Jo Clubb This week on the Physical Preparation Podcast: ● What led Jo to the world of physical preparation as an athlete growing up ● How her career path brought her to the U.S. ● The evolution of sports science over the years ● How the role of strength and conditioning coaches expanded with sports science ● Integrating sports science into a team’s daily activities ● Decision-making hygiene and how scientific processes can help with objective decision-making ● The art and importance of simplification in communicating sports science ● The beginner’s mindset ● What Jo means by ‘having an external sounding board’ ● How working in different sports and countries has helped Jo ● The hardest part of working in elite sport Resources Mentioned: ● Book: The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman Connect with Jo Clubb: ● Global Performance Insights ● Global Performance Insights on Twitter ● Jo Clubb on LinkedIn and Instagram Stop the Frustration!
