I have just got back from attending the International Symposium on Computer Science in Sport being held at the Institute of Sport in Canberra. I saw a number of really interesting presentations on the developments in the field of Sport Science.

 

The main aspects that I will take from the conference is that the best sport science does not look to impose on a sport but instead works with the sport to create feedback that triggers the athlete to think about how they can improve their own performance. Additionally ideas need to be shared so that everyone can thrive, this is often hard for people who percieve that they "ahead" of the trend but by helping to increase the level of others then everyone can thriive and the whole level can improve.

 

These ideas may seem self explanitory to some but to me the implementation of them is always the harder part.

 

The conference was a great escape from the dust storms of Sydney that have been blanketing my house!
