What is Sport Science? | Essentials of Sport Science Live Lecture

This information was adapted from a lecture that Dr. M. H. Stone gives each year to his incoming masters and doctoral students at ETSU. I have adapted it for my class Advanced Practice in Sport Science to reflect the Athlete Monitoring Initiative (AMI) at the institution where I now teach, Point Loma Nazarene University.

Get certified as a CPSS (Certified Performance and Sport Scientist). This lecture is part of a comprehensive and ever-growing video series covering topics related to applied sport science

Dr. Goodin,

Thank you for sharing this lecture with us. I especially liked how you highlighted the importance of the coach's eye as "bedside manner" in our profession. Very much reminds me of the scene from Moneyball when the coaching staff is meeting about restructuring their team and there is discourse between what coaches see with their eyes vs what the numbers / statistics say. It makes sense how both are of high importance when it comes to wanting to enhance performance to the highest level attainable. As you've mentioned before, the goal is for athletes to solve movement problems better than the opponent. Can they accomplish the demands of their sport better than the other side? Sport science certainly provides that avenue to try and get there.

Good day Dr. Goodin,
I really liked how you mention science assumes the truth its out there and can be measured, as I think it really relates to the white box approach, trying measure and control for relevant variables to be able to better direct the training process.

Thank you sir for a great full class, I am sports and exercise science student from India. I am developing myself to be better. I gain lots of knowledge in this session. I want to learn more in this channel.keep going sir, great support.

[selafallon]

Thank you for explaining the Athlete Monitoring Conceptual Model and how sport science staff can seamlessly integrate into training, monitoring, and research. I am lucky to play a part in this role at PLNU.

[evaozimec]

Appreciate the content Dr. Goodin. Enjoyed the part where you spoke on the history of training in regards to the Tetrad System!

[thuraaung]

Thanks a million, about sport science. Very great help and explanation from you, Sir. Thank you.

[blirqro]

Hey Dr. Goodin, I really enjoyed this lecture. Thanks so much for sharing!

[lsndtgl]

I am hopefully going to study sport science in a few years time and this has really given me an insightful view of what I needed to have known! thanks a million!

[ColeCardinale]

Dr. Goodin,

Thank you for the video, very useful information!

[laynelarsen]

Dr. Goodin,
I like the black box vs. white box procedure. I just heard a podcast that used this example when comparing experienced-based (black box) vs. evidence based coaching (white box). Using objective data would give great insight into what was beneficial and what was not from previous seasons.

[fernandovillavicencio]

Dr. Goodin! Very great presentation, I'm having deja vu almost as if I've seen this before. But a little extra knowledge won't hurt

[taekwondofamilykenya]

Thank you so much for this. I am new in this I am hoping to learn more and more.

[cobaltblue]

Great Information I'm doing some research on this

[bhanubawari]

Thanks for this insightful video, Dr. Jacob. Hopefully one day I will be able to attend your classes live at PLNU.

Que buena conferencia, mil gracias por compartir todo este conocimiento, saludos desde Colombia 😃

[prabhanjanavramagiri]

Thank you so much for all this work you are doing.

[abbyweiss]

Thank you!! Do you think you could make a video on careers in Exercise vs Sport Science and on the various types of educational programs?

[Sansanmar]

This is really interesting! As a TKD teacher I'm looking to improve myself in order to pass on the knowledge to younger generations

[aakashexpt]

Plz release more stuff on essential of sports science

[cullenjr]

Hi sir I have a question, currently imma student who takes sport science can I ask you do they require the science subject called chemistry? If yes please respond to me that will help.
