On this week's Salience Podcast, we explore the benefits and pitfalls of role clarity through the lens of the Chief of Staff. A Chief of Staff is a relatively new addition to the C-Suite, with an express function to enable the rest of the C-suite to shine. Our guest is David Hesse, who until recently was Chief of Staff at Kitman Labs. David describes how a Chief of Staff can unblock bottle necks and enable faster decision making. For more information about The Salience Podcast and Frontline Mind please visit our website at https://www.frontlinemind.com/the-salience-podcast/ You can also sign up for our newsletter here https://frontlinemind.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ff181d12c77d7cea5f19a2c48&id=fd7357f614

Kitman Labs ensured Bayer Leverkusen knew what it took to win the German Bundesliga.They demonstrated to Dr Karl-Heinrich Dittmar, Leverkusen's Head of Medical, the optimal range of player availability to top the table during a meet in Dublin, four or five years before Die Werkself actually won the title.“I kept this data; and last year we did it,” Dr Dittmar told the Kitman Labs podcast with evident pride. It turns out the data scanned almost perfectly across the numbers posted by the club during their unbeaten title-winning campaign.“They found out what we need from the medical point of view, from player availability, and it was perfect – the data predicted what would happen in the future.”It demonstrated the value of clean, consistent datasets – something that has given Leverkusen an edge over more celebrated rivals – and something that Yael Averbuch West is trying to build in her role as GM at 2023 NWSL champions Gotham City.“We're still in the data collection stage in the women's game,” she tells the podcast, while also explaining that the work to bridge that gap is well underway in this corner of New York City.In the third and final episode of this series, West and Dr Dittmar are joined by Kitman Labs Founder Stephen Smith to discuss how data strategies can help teams in their quest for greatness.Elsewhere, the trio discuss a range of topics, including why learnings tend to emerge as data collection grows ever more sophisticated [17:30]; the importance of a centralised system for consistency [24:15]; the balance between using data to unearth ‘hidden gems' and jumping on something misleading [33:00]. Episode one is available here and episode two is available here.

You may have a great performance structure for your men's team, but simply cutting and pasting that to your women's team does them a disservice.That is the view of Arianna Criscione, the Head of Football Operations at Mercury/13 and Como Women. “It's not enough,” she tells this Kitman Labs podcast. She explains that there are a range of services, from nutrition to psychology, that need to be tailored to women players.Criscione continues: “You also have to have access to medical [support], but a lot of clubs don't have access to a gynaecologist, which is a major part of the female body and really needs to be addressed a lot more.”Dentistry is another area of oft-neglected consideration. “If you have an off-bite, that can actually affect your structure and how you're running, which could cause injury.”It is, as Sarah Smith says, about “making sure that we have a good foundation of support around our athletes.” Smith, who is the Director of Medical and Performance at Angel City FC in the NWSL, joins the conversation alongside Stephen Smith, the Founder of Kitman Labs.In addition to discussing holistic female player development [10:45], the trio delve into bridging the gap in data and understanding in women's football [15:45]; how talent identification is evolving [20:15]; as well as the existing disparities in data collection [28:10] from club to club and league to league.This is episode two of a three-part series.

More than 77 per cent of professional contracts in the Premier League and EFL are held by homegrown players.It wasn't always thus. “English clubs were basically funding talent development models in Spain or in Brazil because English talent wasn't seen to be at the same level as players from those countries,” Paul Prescott, the Managing Director of the International Football Group, told this Kitman Labs podcast.That situation persisted until recently and is starting to change in part due to the introduction of the Elite Player Performance Plan [EPPP] in 2012.“We are seeing that some of the decisions that were made maybe 10-12 years ago are beginning to bear fruit,” added Prescott, who was joined by Morten Larsen, the Head of Methodology & Development at Danish Superliga club Arhus, and Stephen Smith, the Founder of Kitman Labs.Aarhus share the Premier League's emphasis on talent development, albeit in different circumstances as Larsen explains [5:30].“Denmark is a small country and the league is a small league,” he says. “So there's only one thing we can do to compete with the other clubs in Europe.”Elsewhere, Smith sets out the differences in approach between leagues and clubs [16:25]; Larsen explains the impact of data on decision-making processes in the Aarhus academy [24:10]; and Prescott ponders whether EPPP was an outcome or a catalyst [36:30].

"The conversation has grown," says MT Eisner, "but curiouser and curiouser: has the conversation grown because I'm in that circle or has the conversation genuinely grown?"The US Applied Performance Specialist Manager at Kitman Labs would like to think it's the latter. "Within Kitman, we talk about it consistently, within the other organisations that we're helping [we ask] ‘how can we assist with this?'" she continues."We had this organisation want to now start tracking menstrual cycles, starting to do X, Y and Z with their athletes. 'Who else is doing this? What conversations are you having? Who can we tap into?' and so forth."In addition to the increasing focus on female athletes - and the development of female practitioners - our conversation also covered:How MT would test new female-focused performance ideas on herself in the first instance [7:30];Why she says 'the grass isn't always greener - it's fake' in sports performance [21:00];Sitting down with practitioners to develop workflows [24:00];The future of training science and equipment science [36:00]. Joe Lemire Twitter | LinkedInJohn Portch Twitter | LinkedInListen above and subscribe today on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast, or your chosen podcast platform.

Martin Buchheit is a very passionate strength and conditioning coach that progressively developed into an applied sport performance scientist, with a main emphasis on football (soccer). Martins (>200 publications) focused on intervention strategies and profiling assessments that may improve players' physical and technical potential, using a scientific approach whenever possible. By using his background in strength & Conditioning (2 Msc), statistics (1 Msc) and his PhD in exercise physiology, he developed different training 'tools' such as the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness to program high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and the 5'-5' (now 4'-3') running test to monitor training status using accelerometers, GPS and heart rate (variability). Currently, Martin consults and speaks for various organizations, and holds the position of Head of Performance at Lille OSC, together with the role of Head of Performance Research at Kitman Labs, and helps lead up the Performance Intelligence Research Initiative. QUOTES “In the context of team sport, fitness does not often make the difference in winning or losing games” “Teams that had high speed exposures two days before games had less hamstring injuries during matches two days after” “We know if you look at contact time with a standardized same speed run, this can be indicative of acute fatigue” “Any data that be collected through normal practices in a football team, I like it” “The first discussion I had with the coaches I have worked with is tell me about the players and this is definitely the best way to start to build the interaction with coaches” “People say you should leave your ego at the door but no, you just need to have the volume control so when you need it, turn it high and when you don't need and need to collaborate, turn it down” "What is important with the anerobic speed reserve concept is not the exact numbers but to understand the profiling that comes with it" SHOWNOTES 1) Martin's background as a strength and conditioning coach, researcher and sport scientist across the globe 2) Building performance on a foundation of athlete health and the importance of player availability 3) The science and art of designing a training microcylce between matches in football 4) Having a pragmatic view on the use of technology in sport and getting data from normal team practices 5) Super simple standardized warmups for autonomic nervous system and neuromuscular monitoring 6) Developing relationships, influencing the coaches you are working with and managing egos in high performance sport 7) The anaerobic speed reserve concept, bucketing athletes and deciding training methods for each athlete PEOPLE MENTIONED Paul Larsen Raymond Verhiejen Dan Plews Nick Poulus Marc Quod

Ireland's sports tech industry has helped to design a new ‘Digital Athlete' programme to help people build careers in the country's growing number of sports technology companies. Through a new collaboration between Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet and SportsTech Ireland, a new career pathway into the industry has been created. The first wave of recruitment for ‘Digital Athlete' is aimed at women. On completion of the programme, participants will achieve a recognised data analytics accreditation and a mentored work placement in a sports tech company in Ireland. With companies such as Stats Perform, Orreco, Kitman Labs, DraftKings, Fitbit, Strava all based here, Ireland is now recognised as a global centre of excellence for SportsTech. ‘Digital Athlete' organisers want to hear from women who enjoy sport and have a digital mindset, pointing out that applicants don't necessarily need deep technology knowledge. They are looking for women who love sport and are open to developing new digital skills in a dynamic environment which provides active involvement with SportsTech companies. The growth of the sector is notable, bringing many new career opportunities to Ireland. Sports tech companies work across IoT, sports performance, data analytics, broadcast, wearable tech, fan engagement, e-sports and sports ecommerce. Globally, the global sports tech market was valued at $17.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to growth to $41 billion by 2026. The sub-sector of the Sports Data Analytics market is predicted to reach almost $6 billion by 2026. Commenting on the launch of Digital Athlete, Maire Hunt, Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet Network Director, said: “Through the Digital Athlete programme, sports enthusiasts can now fully participate in the digital revolution. We are running the first programme specifically for women to help them access the many job opportunities that are out there. “The Digital Athlete Programme is looking for people with a passion for sports, coupled with a digital mindset. With the right interests and mindset, our expert group of tutors and mentors will provide the skills in data analysis and innovation, familiarisation with the different areas within SportsTech, interaction with SportsTech company leaders and an opportunity to see what it's like working in a SportsTech company.” Grainne Barry, SVP Operations, Stats Perform said: “Stats Perform is committed to driving diversity and inclusion within the SportsTech industry. The Digital Athlete women's programme provides an opportunity for us to work with new talent identification and development initiatives. The Digital Athlete programme enables SportsTech companies to participate in the development of skill sets needed for the industry as it embraces digital transformation and the evolution of fan engagement.” Martina Skelly, Director of SportsTech Ireland, said: “SportsTech Ireland is excited to be part of Digital Athlete, with the Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet. The industry of sport has changed as teams, leagues, broadcasters, have embraced new technologies and digital opportunities. As a technology industry, SportsTech is moving mainstream. “We know that Ireland is a leader in the global SportsTech sector, and many great career opportunities exist in this exciting space. Focused on the convergent career of Sport with Tech, our companies want to ensure that women can fully avail of the new career opportunities that SportsTech can offer. So, we are calling for women who are interested in sport to apply and let us help open new opportunities for you through the Digital Athlete programme.” Supply and availability of sufficiently qualified employees is key to continued sectoral development. Currently this is the biggest constraint facing both the FDI and SME SportsTech network within Ireland. In 2023, the new partnership of the Technology Ireland Digital Skillnet and SportsTech Ireland will bring a new suite of domain-specific programmes to enable the ...

“Vision without systems thinking ends up painting lovely pictures of the future,” reflected MIT Sloan Lecturer, Peter M Senge. “It leaves no deep understanding of the forces that must be mastered to move from here to there.” Never has this quote been more applicable in the world of business than in the business of sport.
