Episode 3 - Past Their Peak?

“Players begin to decline when they reach the age of 30.” Well, try and tell that to Ryan Giggs!   In Episode 3, we delve deeper into what is meant by a player’s ‘peak age’. Is it a definitive bracket that applies to all players? How does it vary from each position? Are we talking about physical performance or technical ability?   We discuss how sports science has influenced players in the modern game, we throw back to an epic AC Milan team from the 2000’s, and talk through an interesting way to assess the profile of a squad.    Bio links -  BBC Football - Squad Profiles: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52531281.
