Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

311: The Future of Weight Room Monitoring with Perch P2
Q: What is next for P2, and how might the system evolve over time?
The team plans to extend compute power to track more movements simultaneously, extend readiness assessments to more complex movements (e.g., Olympic lifts), and potentially bring on-field or arena-based applications, with video feedback and broader movement quality metrics becoming more integrated into coaching workflows.
311: The Future of Weight Room Monitoring with Perch P2
Q: What are the key differences observers will notice with the P2 technology compared to the original Perch?
The camera is smaller, easier to install, with much higher portability and improved accuracy due to a new 3D camera module, faster frame rate, and stereo color vision, enabling better feedback during explosive movements and in challenging lighting conditions.
312: The Role of Environment in Player Performance
Q: What one piece of advice would you give to aspiring footballers today?
Give your all and maximize your natural attributes; avoid regrets by ensuring you have no unfinished business with your effort, because you cannot replicate someone else's path.
312: The Role of Environment in Player Performance
Q: For you personally, who did you enjoy playing most for and why?
Carl says Tony Pulis and Neil Warnock gave him total belief in himself, viewing their long pursuit to sign him as evidence of their confidence in his character and potential.
310: Why Female Physiology Still Needs Greater Attention in Sport with Dr Candice Macmillan
Q: What would you like to see understood to create a level playing field for female athletes?
Better education, more effective implementation, and leadership in policy, along with clear, accessible communication between athletes and organizations to tailor support to female athletes' needs.
