Summary: In the 32nd episode of the Historic Performance Podcast, I chat with Lachlan Wilmot. Lachlan is the Senior Strength & Power Coach at the GWS Giants, who play in the AFL. He is part of a very robust Athletic Performance Unit (APU) led by David Joyce, who is a world-renowned high performance coach. In this episode, Lachlan talks about using a difficulty index algorithm to adjust training load based on the difficulty of the in-season match schedule, pre-season testing, and how GWS Giants utilizes the NordBord to reduce hamstring strains, which is the most prevalent soft tissue injury in the AFL.
