Welcome to my blog where you have the opportunity to read about the science behind some of your favourite sports. I specialise in writing about the science of sport in a way that is easy to read and understand. Most of the posts are articles that I have published in a range of Australian sporting magazines. The articles combine the current scientific knowlege behind the topic with comments from experts from both scientific and sporting persepectives.
