I\u2019ve been putting off this appointment until the beginning of September. Since we\u2019ve not exactly hit the ground running in terms of results, I wanted to be commended, in the monthly appraisal, as highly as possible for financial management \u2013 so I figured I wouldn\u2019t burden the budget with a sports scientist\u2019s wages until after the appraisal.<\/p>\n<p>But I do want a sports scientist. In the main, because I reckon the players will benefit. But I also like the way it will enhance the image I\u2019m trying to project. When, sooner or later, the time comes to leave this club, I want to dabble in a little lecturing at business schools. \u2018The management of science in contemporary football\u2019 has a certain ring to it as a lecture title.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, I don\u2019t know where to start. None of my clubs in the parallel universes of FM14, FM15, or FM16 were sophisticated enough to employ sport scientists. Plymouth, Carlisle, Crewe (England), Aris, Episkopi, Kissamikos, Zakynthos (Greece); Honved and Dunaujvaros (Hungary); Minsk (Belarus); and Volendam (Holland): none of them did sports science.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehighertempopress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/SES-1-tiny-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>So I don\u2019t know what exactly I\u2019m looking for. A little late night reading of <em>Sport and Exercise Science<\/em>, a mercifully concise textbook (written by Joanne Thatcher and others), gives me some pointers.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m still not sure. Some knowledge of physiotherapy perhaps \u2013 not so that the scientist can perform the physio, but so that they can liaise with our physio team. Ditto fitness coaching, so as to liaise with Weiss, our fitness coach. And perhaps mental coaching, if sports science is deemed to include psychology.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the thing to do is get started and see how it goes. Our network throws up the name of Eitan Sharon, who is evidently a bit of all-rounder. It sounds as though, if we bring him in, we won\u2019t go far wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give him a call, see if he\u2019d like to come in for a chat.\u00a0 Even if that isn\u2019t actually a very scientific way of doing things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hapoel Ashkelon FC\u2019s staffing allocation permits the appointment of a sports scientist.
