Successfully Crossing Over To Another Sport – The Case of Team Sky’s Tim Kerrison

I read aBBC article, Bradley Wiggins: 10 reasons for his Tour de France win and at number two is Head of Performance Support Time Kerrison.  I came across him again during the ITV documentary,Bradley Wiggins- A Very British Champion, and reports that he revolutionised cycling training (seelink and link).  

I’ve already blogged about the importance of performance analysis and the people doing it.  What really interested me was before his Team Sky post, he had never worked in cycling.  The previous job was in swimming and before that it was in rowing.  He basically used his knowledge of those sports, applied it to cycling and was successful.  This is pretty much what I am trying to do, offering a fresh perspective into football analysis from my volleyball and basketball background.  .
