Pre-Season Team Battery: Birkenhead United Womens Football

On Friday, February 9th, our performance team visited Shepards Park to collaborate with the Birkenhead United Women's Football Team, conducting a comprehensive team battery to establish baseline data for their pre-season preparations.

Coach Jordan Roberts emphasised the club's commitment to their women's program, particularly following their promotion last year. Implementing pre-season testing demonstrates the dedication to both individual and team success, signaling a serious approach.

The battery encompassed an injury screening by Performance Physio David Bahadoor, a detailed warm-up, and a series of stations testing various aspects including vertical and horizontal projection, change of direction, and speed across different distances. The session concluded with a yo-yo intermittent recovery test.

In elite sports, program prescriptions require data to validate their effectiveness. Our team battery provides teams and their staff with invaluable insights into performance, injury risk, and rehabilitation.

We're committed to continuing our partnership with Birkenhead throughout the year, playing a supportive role in the club's pursuit of excellence for their women's team.
