How to Keep Up With the Science (Without Burning Out)
You know the feeling….
A new paper drops in JSCR, a coach on Twitter or X (whatever it is called now!) is quoting a study you haven’t read, and your inbox is full of research roundups that you swore you’d get to - last year 🤣
The pressure to ‘stay up to date’ is real. But if we’re being honest…It’s overwhelming.
As we all know with coaching it already pulls your time in a hundred directions with athletes, planning, admin, meetings and much more. And now you’re meant to keep to with every new PDF, AI tool, and paper that hits PubMed or SCJ?
Truth is, you don’t need to read everything, you just need the right things, at the right time, in a way that makes sense for you and your practice.
Here in the community we’ve found that most coaches aren’t struggling with access to research. They’re struggling with applying it. What does this study mean for my practice? How does this paper translate to the gym or on the grass/court? That’s the real issue.
That’s exactly why we started doing out ISCN Research Reviews and academic breakdowns inside the ISCN, to cut through the noise.
No fluff. No jargon. Just clear, practical takeaways for coaches who want to stay sharp without drowning in academic papers!
So, if you’ve ever:
Downloaded a paper and thought, “I don’t have time for this right now”
Felt like everyone else is ahead of you when it comes to the research side of things
Wanted to keep learning without the burnout
… you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who we write those reviews for.
Coaching is already hard enough. Let us help make the research side of things a little easier…
