Phil Scott joins me for this episode! Many listeners should know of Phil, but his experiences include 8 years working with the England National Cricket Team as their Strength and Conditioning Coach and is currently the Pathways Lead for Physical Preparation at the ECB.
I first met Phil whilst collaborating with him on using a specific recovery tool. I was taken aback by his thoughtful approach to physical preparation, so I had to ask him to join the podcast to share his insights.
In this episode, Phil discusses program design for cricket players, specifically focusing on batters and hitters. He places a premium on understanding the athlete's perspective and working closely with coaches. He explains that program design in the gym should include a combination of strength, power, and coordination exercises. Phil shares his approach to managing gym sessions, including the need to consider pre-game and post-game workouts.

There is a lot packed into this one so do enjoy it - and come back next week as Phil takes it up a level with his stumbles episode!
