Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
In today’s climate it is widely acknowledged that Premier League football clubs are considered as being business operators who generate profit from the buying, developing and selling of players giving it a unique culture, with the opportunity for huge financial rewards. Consequently, sporting organisations are ever increasing their utilisation of performance analysts, strength and conditioning specialists and sport psychologists under the guise of sport science service providers. These scientists are said to enhance sports performance through the development of systematic frameworks which allow the embedment of rigorous scientific training and knowledge into not only their own domain but in addition, that of other departments through the offering of novel insights.
Commonly referred to as multidisciplinary teams (MDTs), the basic premise of service providers is to integrate knowledge from across disciplines to approach and work with players in a collaborative manner in order to aid performance. The aim of an MDT in the sports context is therefore to enrich a players learning and development experience by using various experts input to achieve a common goal.
The overall aim of the proposed project is therefore to systematically evaluate the theoretical and operational merits of the 4A’s framework and its conceptual components in order to report upon firstly, its academic rigour and secondly appraise the practical application and subsequent impact of the model.
