My profile
Biography
Tom is a Senior Lecturer in Strength and Conditioning and Sports Biomechanics at Manchester Metropolitan University (May 2020 - present), having completed his PhD in Sports Biomechanics at the University of Salford (2020) where he investigated the biomechanical determinants of performance and injury risk during change of direction. Tom is the co-founder of Science of Multi-directional Speed and the co-editor of the book: Multidirectional Speed in Sport: Research to Application. Tom has published over 95 peer-reviewed journal articles, with research interests including change of direction biomechanics, anterior cruciate ligament injury screening and intervention, inter-limb asymmetry, and assessment and development of strength and power characteristics, and he is also a research member of the Manchester Institute of Sport (MMU), Football Science Institute (Granada, Spain), Human Braking Performance Research Group (UCLAN), and the England Para-football Research Centre. Tom is an NSCA certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (with distinction), and is an accredited international strength and conditioning practitioner (IUSCA) having previously worked as a strength and conditioning coach for Manchester United FC, Salford City FC, England North-West Netball, England Lacrosse academy, and Manchester BMX club. Tom is currently a Physical Performance Coach for England Para-Football, and he consults on strength and movement profiling with sport technology companies and sports teams such as Sale Sharks Rugby, Manchester United FC, and Aston Villa FC, and has previously consulted with the England Football Association on change of direction biomechanics. Tom is also a visiting lecturer on postgraduate programmes at Middlesex University, University of Girona, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Football Science Institute, and he is an editor for the International Journal of Strength and Conditioning.
