o First Team (September–November): Gain exposure to advanced performance workflows; assist with data collection and reporting; observe multidisciplinary meetings and contribute under supervision.
o Capstone Project Presentation (December): Consolidate learnings into a final project that delivers actionable recommendations for the department; prepare and present findings to staff and relevant stakeholders.
2. Applied Sport Science & Monitoring
o Support daily athlete readiness and training-load monitoring using GPS, wellness platforms, and force plates.
o Assist with standardized testing protocols (e.g., neuromuscular, strength diagnostics) and ensure high-quality data capture.
o Contribute to data cleaning, organization, and basic analysis; assist in building routine reports and dashboards.
3. Data Management & Reporting
o Collect, manage, and QA performance data (GPS, wearables, physical tests) within the club’s Athlete Management System.
o Produce concise reports and visuals for coaches, performance, and medical staff to inform training, selection, and recovery decisions.
o Maintain documentation of workflows, SOPs, and rotational learnings to support alignment across Academy, Second Team, and First Team.
4. Club-Wide Alignment & Collaboration:o Work alongside the Performance Scientist to apply consistent sport science standards and protocols across all levels.
o Participate in multidisciplinary discussions regarding player monitoring, injury-risk mitigation, and training interventions.
o Support equipment logistics (e.g., device prep, charging, calibration), testing setups, and post-session breakdown.
5. Professional Growth & Education
o Engage in ongoing mentorship with the Head of Performance Science and Performance Scientist; participate in internal education sessions.
o Maintain a reflective learning journal, set quarterly development goals, and incorporate feedback into practice.
o Contribute to knowledge-sharing (e.g., short presentations, internal memos) that help unify processes across the pathway.
