Fitness coach

[Need4speed]

According to Lancashire Live
"Preston North End fitness coach Tom Little has seemingly left the football club and joined fellow Championship side Sheffield United ahead of the 2022/23 season.
Having become the Head of Performance at Deepdale back in the summer of 2013, Little then took on the role of Fitness Coach in 2014. Previous jobs in the industry saw him work as Head of Sport Science at Barnsley, Burnley, Birmingham City and Sheffield Wednesday, while Huddersfield Town appointed Little as Head of Performance in 2011."

Seems experienced hopefully will look into methods at Shirecliff to ensure we don't have so many injuries.

I was on holiday last week and met a chap who works for a company advising clubs and doing work on their pitches He said a deal had been signed re pitches at Shirecliff

Two good pieces of news. Though the fitness levels in that playoff 2nd leg were amazing.

Don't want no ex-pig working for us. Now where did I put that old bed sheet and my tin of black paint.

Yeah they were, not a single player on either side going down with cramp either so fitness and nutrition bang on there

They just didn't sleep for 3 days after with all the energy gels and shots they were having

Training Ground Guru | Little leaves Preston after nine years to join Sheffield United

TOM LITTLE has left Preston after nine years to become Head of Performance at Championship rivals Sheffield United.

Excellent news. A Head of Sports Science at last. Fills a gaping hole. Could be the best signing of the season. Hopefully the management of injuries will now take a step forward. ex Barnsley so could have worked with PH before.

These are the key things that need sorting. Finally getting a head of sports science in place and getting those training pitches sorted out.

Get that done now and we can focus on bringing players in for the rest of the summer.

Hopefully a good appointment. Certainly sounds it.

Tough for him being PNE's Head of Performance and Fitness coach for 9 years with Ryan Lowe bringing in his own staff.
He will be quite happy to have the likes of Barnsley and the pigs left behind.
Head of Performance was something we were missing since Slav took his man Cristobal with him.
Maybe we will see some improvement and get our snail pace midfielders sweating. Go Get Em Tom!

Think we had a fatness coach when Moose was here.
