CAFC Director of Performance Services Dr. Will Abbott has kindly agreed to be the guest speaker at the CAST AGM on November 28th.

Once we have concluded the formal business of the AGM there will be an opportunity for members to put their questions to Will.

He began his professional career working in Southampton’s Strength and Conditioning team in 2010 before joining Brighton in 2012, working his way up to the position of Performance Manager in January 2022. He completed his PhD at the University of Brighton after graduating from the University of Portsmouth with a Master’s degree in Sports Performance. He is currently continuing his education at Manchester Metropolitan University with a Masters in Sport Directorship.

When he joined the club earlier this year his duties were described as:

to "oversee the performance services provision across the club, which includes the medical, nutrition, sports science and psychology departments, ensuring players across all the teams are in peak physical condition and the methodology is aligned and integrated across the football club."

Full AGM papers and registration details will be publicised shortly.
