“Brilliant course. Especially as a physiotherapist trying to increase their understanding of strength and conditioning within a rehabilitation context and when trying to develop processes to improve performance and facilitate change in an individual both in health and injury/illness. It was extremely enlightening and thought provoking and has sharpened my problem-solving skills to better help the athletes and individuals I work with.”

The course provided a safe learning environment for practitioners to learn through shared experiences to reflect on their practice. The clearly defined principles are and attention to details is second to none. This course has been extremely impactful for me and opened my eyes on how to create different learning opportunities for others and how to guide the process.”

“Firstly, I am a cricket coach and not from an S&C background but I would recommend the problem-solving course to anyone who is seriously curious about helping those in their charge. It helps to unravel the complexities of the why through a process that is widely applicable. It will provide challenges that creates opportunities for new discoveries, learning and provide used cases linking theory to real world applications and supported by engaging interactions to reinforce the understanding.”
— Yusuf Karolia: ECB L3 Coach Advanced
“Thanks to this course I have learned a clear and concise framework that I can refer back to when planning rehabilitation sessions with my players and clients. This gives me the chance to visualise the process before starting it, with clear outcomes in mind and ideas on how to achieve said outcomes..”
— Luca Franzoi: Rehab Specialist Aquila Basket Trento
“The course provides a fantastic insight into the framework of decision making utilised by elite sport S&C coaches in solving performance problems. The theoretical content is supported with real world case studies, and the webinars offer attendees the chance to apply the knowledge and principles to their own work with athletes and gain valuable feedback and input from others. Alex, Tom and Chris do a great job of making what can appear to be complex topics easy to understand and apply to any context.'“
— Mark Niemz: University of Wolverhampton Senior Lecturer
“The SCA is an excellent opportunity for S&C coaches and practitioners from other disciples such as physiotherapy at various stages of their career to evolve their thinking around the application of S&C to enhance performance and for rehabilitation.The material is based on Alex, Tom and Chris's extensive experience in elite sport and provides a novel approach to providing impactful S&C support or use of S&C principles that may transfer across to other disciples. What I liked most about the course was the blend of lectures and interactive webinars that were a fantastic opportunity to discuss real world performance problems with other practitioners working in a range of environments and facilitated reflection and evolution of ones own thought process and practice.”
— Ishan Rawlley-Singh: Birmingham City Football Club Women's Physical Performance Coach
“Aside from the expert theoretical content, what differentiates this from other S&C education is the real life application and opportunity to be coached through the problem solving process. Alex, Tom & Chris are excellent mentors who are able to tease out the origins of your uncertainties, and then either signpost to further learning, offer a different perspective or actually reassure that uncertainty is often an inevitable part of performance puzzles faced during S&C coaching given it is at least partly, a creative act. Highly recommended for S&C coaches at all levels.”
— Simon Brearley: PGA European Tour / England Golf / Cranleigh School Strength &Conditioning Coach
“The content for each module is a great resource that I will always refer back to. Even though I studied Strength and Conditioning at University I have picked up a lot of knowledge on making the process of designing programmes very clear on enhancing an athletes performance within their sport. The webinars especially were great to interact, reflect and share real life examples with peers on how to use the problem solving framework. This course provides a lot of lateral thinking and I believe it is essential when it comes down to working in a high performance environment. I would highly recommend this course if you have the ambition to improve your critical thinking.”
— Geoff Robinson: Ipswich Town FC First Team Strength & Conditioning Coach
