“I used to use various methods of keeping up-to-date with studies, such as word of mouth and internet discussions. This became a hodgepodge of information for me…
Since subscribing to Science for Sport, I’m now a more educated and well-rounded coach. It’s allowed me to free up some time that I now use to write a weekly email to my athletes. I include reviews from The Digest, and I’m able to cite every study referenced.
The result? More trust and more buy-in from my athletes!”

“I’d get so frustrated trying to stay up-to-date before my Science for Sport membership. I’d often find myself reading through something only to find that it was a complete load of rubbish copied off some fitness lifestyle website!
Now, I actually find myself excited to stay up-to-date. Everything is so easy to read and gives further details on where to continue reading about a certain topic. I’ve also saved a tonne of money on books and other research material!”
