Sports Science: A ScotsIdeas Demonstration and Discussion

30/5/2015

On Thursday 14 May a full Coote Theatre enjoyed hearing distinguished athletes, doctors and coaches reflect on the relationship between sport and holistic development at Sports Science: A ScotsIdeas Demonstration and Discussion. Drawing on the College’s extensive sports science research links with major universities and sporting programs, Mr Tenzing Tsewang, Director of Sports Science, brought together an exceptional panel which included: Dr John Orchard, Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Public Health, University of Sydney and physician for top teams including Cricket NSW and the Blues State of Origin team; Dr Carmel Harrington, Managing Director of Sleep for Health and Honorary Research Fellow at the Children's Hospital Westmead; Dr Stephen Cobley, Senior Lecturer in Health Sciences at the University of Sydney; and Mr Brian Smith, Director of Rugby at Scots, a Wallaby in the 1986 Bledisloe Cup and 1987 World Cup, and a highly experienced coach. 

The panel discussed the questions guests had submitted on such topics as the relationship between sport and academic performance, the sleep needs of young people, the challenges and opportunities for boys keen on pursuing a career in sport or sport-related industries (including the growth of ‘big data’ analysis in coaching), and the importance of ‘playing the long game’ in looking after your body and not over-training. 

Guests at the evening also enjoyed the opportunity to see the College’s first-class sports science facilities and hear from researchers and students about the way research (often by Scots boys using their own maturation data) is shaping our approach to injury management, the relationship between body and brain, and the nature of adolescent development.

We look forward to our final ScotsIdeas event in Term 4, ‘Well May We Say…: An evening of great Australian speeches’. We also invite you to join us at the annual Clark Lectures in August, featuring distinguished historian Professor David Bebbington.
