Ben Williams 15:38 - May 17 with 1538 views | dmm | I don't think this is a Spackman but just listened to a very interesting interview with Head of Performance, Ben Williams https://shows.acast.com/the-r-insights-pod/episodes/episode-4-behind-the-scenes- He's a bit jargonistic but nonetheless clearly knows his stuff. Although he quite rightly declines to go into too much detail on specific players, e.g. JCS, we do learn a fair bit about his approach to player performance. It feels like there's a triumvirate of Cifuentes, Nourry and Williams who are breathing new life into our club. And very welcome it is too. | ![](/images/avatars/28176.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Genuinely excited about the scientific and thought through approach behind this, and demonstrates it is so much more about understanding each players physiology and maturing. Will be fascinating to see what a ‘revised’ U18 and development squad looks like with this kind of focus, and what kind of players they bring in, hopefully with a real data driven approach. Wonder if this is what is behind the many decisions going on now, which are being drip fed out over next few months! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
