Summary
We sit down with three of the most influential minds in sport science — Dr. Mike Stone (ETSU, USOC, Edinburgh), Meg Stone (first female head S&C coach in the US, Scottish national coach, ETSU), and Alex Borges (ETSU PhD, football performance) — for a wide-ranging conversation on the past, present, and future of sport science, coaching education, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts. In this Playbook: Sports science ≠ a dashboard: One of the most urgent critiques in this episode — people are being hired as "directors of sports science" who collect GPS, VBT, and force plate data and build a Power BI dashboard. That is sport technology. It is not sports science. Doc has a four-hour lecture on the difference. The field won't advance until the people doing the hiring understand what they're actually hiring for. Commitment to the greater cause: Build your program around like-minded people or you don't have a program — you have a collection of individuals. Whether it's a university lab, a strength room, or a coaching staff, surrounding yourself with people aligned to the same direction is the hardest thing to do and the most important. And the measure of success isn't your publication list — it's the athletes you served and the coaches you developed.
