Hi, I’m Simon — sports scientist, Liverpool tragic, podcast host, and occasional sarcastic sod. I’ve spent 29 years working in and around elite sport: Premier League, ATP, NBA, youth academies, the lot.
This Substack exists because football is messy — schedules are brutal, injuries are piling up, and yet fans get fed… well, not much science. I’m here to change that.
Expect:
⚽ Liverpool deep dives — what’s really happening with rotation, fatigue, and fixture chaos.
📊 Sports science, simplified — no jargon, no academic waffle, just the good stuff.
🧠 Injury insights & training myths — from ACLs to why players break down.
🎙️ Fatigue Index extras — bonus data, charts, and podcast behind-the-scenes.
If you’re here for stats, sarcasm, and stories from inside the game — you’re in the right place.
Hit subscribe, stick around, and let’s make sense of football’s madness together.
— Simon
P.S. If you’re a Liverpool fan… buckle up. Fixture chaos is coming. Again. 🔴
