Welcome to Series 2 of The PINN Podcast!
Excited to get the second series underway with a conversation with 3 experienced practitioners and editors of The Applied Sport and Exercise Practitioner that was released earlier this summer in July 2023.
Andy Borrie has worked in elite sport and higher education for 30 years; developing world class performance programmes in the 90's and early 00's, and was Head of High Performance for Loughborough University previously, leading their talent ID programmes and managing relationships with National Governing Bodies. As well as his work at The University of Derby, Andy runs his own consultancy supporting the development of professional practice; part of the reason he wanted to be involved in the pulling together of this wonderful text.

In this episode I am joined by Anne-Marie Mulholland, currently supporting both the men and women 7s programme with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). Anne-Marie and I discussed her career progress and development since graduating from the MSc at LJMU and Anne-Marie reflects on her practice within high performance sport - providing some absolute gems of advice for any practitioner. I guarantee if you are currently practicing in the field you will be nodding along to the conversation as we go, and if you are working towards the graduate register of the SENr - maybe just finishing your MSc around about now, you will take a lot from this reflective conversation.

In this episode I am joined by current PhD student Sam McHaffie who is conducting research sponsored by The FA at Liverpool John Moores University investigating the quantification of energy expenditure within 16 - 19 year old International standard female youth players.
We discussed Sams journey to this point in his career and unpicked thoughts on his working environments and the importance of mentorship within your role as an early career nutritionist. We spoke around some of the findings from his research that identified a fear of carbohydrate amongst players, and how this research began to quantify the environment and culture that surrounded nutrition within the pathway; the theme of carbohydrate consumption and body composition analysis were themes that were highlighted as a result. Sam discusses his passion for the development of the female game and it was an absolute pleasure to discuss these topics and more around his own applied experiences.

Meghan’s PhD research used behavioural science to understand the dietary behaviours of elite athletes to advance the professional practice of sports and exercise nutritionists. This was a great conversation for me personally, and professionally as Meghan’s research sparked my interest in behaviour change as a topic within the discipline of Performance Nutrition. In this episode we discuss Meghan’s experience of conducting a sports nutrition behavioural analysis underpinned by the COM-B model and Theoretical Domains Framework and the conflict that she felt when supporting athletes performance, health, and wellbeing within high-performance sport. We also discuss the tools that practitioners can use in their own environments and we unpack how the values of the practitioner can shape relationships with athletes and colleagues within the sport science, medicine, and coaching team.
Meghan uses her knowledge of behavioural science to provide an insight to her research and practice. We discuss why we feel behaviour change has become an integral part of our role as practitioners and signpost listeners to various resources to help support their curiosity of behavioural science.

Paula is a HCPC registered sport and exercise practitioner psychologist who is passionate about supporting people’s relationship with physical activity.
Paula has spent 18 years working at LJMU in both applied practice as well as lecturing as a reader in Exercise and Health Psychology, Paula has departed Higher Education now to focus on other ventures including running her own private consultancy – Made Up to Move.
During this episode we discuss the differences between behaviour, cognitive and emotional change and why it’s important to distinguish between these elements when working with athletes. We looked at the ever popular COM-B model and Paula introduced the Self Determination Theory - there is no one 'right' or singular Psychological model that has ti be used in order to develop the environment that will serve as the most efficient for the athletes you support. Having an awareness of different models within Psychology and being curious about how you may apply certain elements to your practice is what is important to develop as an applied practitioner.
Paula and I spoke around the importance of how to structure conversations with athletes and address barriers, all whilst developing a relationship to be able to influence with trust.

Daniel Davey - founder of Davey Nutrition and author of 2 performance nutrition recipe books; Eat Up Raise your Game & Eat Up The Next Level - both provide great fundamental recipes aligned to performance that have been drawn from over 10 years of elite practice with the likes of Leinster Rugby and Dublin Football, as well as growing up on a small cattle farm in Ireland.
Daniel speaks with fond reflection and shares some wonderfully personal anecdotes that show off his philosophy of nutrition practice and his desire to grow ambition alongside deeper understanding of yourself, your colleagues and the athletes you support.
Great to really unpack some of Daniels experiences and have such an experienced and insightful practitioner give a voice to his journey and sharing what he feels it takes to 'make it' (whatever that really means?!) in an elite sport environment.

Joe Matthews is an applied Performance Nutritionist who has supported combat athletes, as well as team sport athletes in both male and female environments working in professional women's football as well as Premiership Academy Rugby Union settings. Joe is currently working on his PhD, undertaking his research at Nottingham Trent University and has research & applied interests in metabolic health, muscle, performance nutrition, injury rehab & injury prevention.
I really enjoyed this conversation with Joe. We discussed many topics such as how you should approach the initial conversation as a nutritionist when working with a combat sport athlete, how important history taking is and how that information guides Joe's decision making around nutrition strategy. We chatted around the similarities and differences in professional environments and how your delivery will have to be versatile enough to work in multiple settings as a consultant practitioner.
Joe and I also discussed the use of skinfolds as a measure within professional sport - particularly within team environments, and how the facility (and other nuanced elements) play an important role in how you capture data, as well as how the data is used and what it is used for; a primary consideration for any practitioner.
I hope you enjoy this conversation, and if you think of any questions you'd like to ask Joe following listening to the episode you can send these to [email protected].
Joe will be joining us on Instagram for a live Q&A on Wednesday 8th February 7 - 7.45pm on The PINN Podcast Instagram page - @thepinnpodcast.
