Welcome to Series 2 of The PINN Podcast!

Excited to get the second series underway with a conversation with 3 experienced practitioners and editors of The Applied Sport and Exercise Practitioner that was released earlier this summer in July 2023.

Andy Borrie has worked in elite sport and higher education for 30 years; developing world class performance programmes in the 90's and early 00's, and was Head of High Performance for Loughborough University previously, leading their talent ID programmes and managing relationships with National Governing Bodies. As well as his work at The University of Derby,  Andy runs his own consultancy supporting the development of professional practice; part of the reason he wanted to be involved in the pulling together of this wonderful text.

Charlotte Chandler is currently at The University of Derby, where Charlotte lectures and conducts research in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Charlottes main responsibility is to support Post Graduate students, including their progress and development in their success in applied practice.

In this episode I am joined by Anne-Marie Mulholland, currently supporting both the men and women 7s programme with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). Anne-Marie and I discussed her career progress and development since graduating from the MSc at LJMU and Anne-Marie reflects on her practice within high performance sport - providing some absolute gems of advice for any practitioner. I guarantee if you are currently practicing in the field you will be nodding along to the conversation as we go, and if you are working towards the graduate register of the SENr - maybe just finishing your MSc around about now, you will take a lot from this reflective conversation. 

Anne-Marie joins us for the Live Q&A Tuesday 6th June 7-7.45pm on our Instagram page ; @thepinnpodcast   

In this episode I am joined by current PhD student Sam McHaffie who is conducting research sponsored by The FA at Liverpool John Moores University investigating the quantification of energy expenditure within 16 - 19 year old  International standard female youth players. 
We discussed Sams journey to this point in his career and unpicked thoughts on his working environments and the importance of mentorship within your role as an early career nutritionist. We spoke around some of the findings from his research that identified a fear of carbohydrate amongst players, and how this research began to quantify the environment and culture that surrounded nutrition within the pathway; the theme of carbohydrate consumption and body composition analysis were themes that were highlighted as a result. Sam discusses his passion for the development of the female game and it was an absolute pleasure to discuss these topics and more around his own applied experiences.
