Certificate in Growth & maturation for Youth Athletes – Testimonials

“Working my way through the Certificate in G&M not only taught me a great deal but gave me a hunger and drive to want to do better in my own practice. I cannot recommend this highly enough for those working in youth sport.”

Sam Blanchard

Premier League Academy Physio

“A fantastic course full of information that every sport scientist and practitioner should be aware of when working with young athletes. The speakers are world class and are able to convey the material in an easy to understand and applied context”.

Kieran McManus

Academy Sport Scientist

“After completing this course I have expanded my knowledge of G&M greatly, how to monitor growth of youth athletes and help to reduce the risk of injury. The setup of the course is great and so is the content of lectures. I highly recommend this course to anyone working with youth athletes”.

Valgeir Vidarsson

Head of Medical at KR Reykavik FC

“I highly recommend the course as its content provides an in-depth insight into this area of study, provided by leading experts with both applied and academic experience within the field. Throughout the course you are constantly challenged and can’t help but instantly reflect upon your own practice and think of how this can be improved based on what you’ve learned from the different modules.”.

Lee Fairley

Physical Performance Coach

“I couldn’t recommend this course enough for any coach working in youth sport. The course provides a deep insight into growth and maturation from both an academic perspective but also in the field with elite practitioners. I like the way the course is split into small segments that can be completed in your own time. Thoroughly enjoyed”.

Jack Inman

Sport Scientist and co-owner at Full Time Performance

I would highly recommend this course for anyone involved or interested in youth athletic development. Brilliantly covers the key background information on G & M and summarizes the key research in the field. Great practical contributions from many of the best in the area. The course is well structured and can be completed at your own pace.
