Dr. Chris Brandner - NSW Institute of Sport | Webinar Series Ep. 2

🎙️ Meet Dr. Chris Brandner – S&C Coach at the New South Wales (NSW) Institute of Sport in Australia

From a PhD in Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training at Deakin University to high-performance roles at Aspire Academy and now NSWIS, Chris exemplifies the modern evolution of the strength and conditioning coach.

In this second episode of the Sport Horizon Webinar Series, Chris joins Dr. Ciaran Deely to discuss his journey through elite sport, his philosophy on data-informed coaching, and how S&C coaches can elevate their impact through intelligent use of data.

Chris walks us through:
📊 Multiple Power BI reports he uses to present S&C data
🧠 His process for communicating insights to athletes and coaches
🗣️ How dashboards enhance conversations within MDTs
💡 Why S&C coaches must embrace evolving data expectations
🎓 His reflections on completing our Power BI for S&C Coaches – Level 1 course (which he helped inspire!) 🙏

Currently based at the New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS), Chris leads S&C support for Cycling (Track, BMX) and Winter Sports (Snowboard, Park & Pipe), including Para programs, with past experience at Aspire Academy (Qatar).

"Strength and Conditioning coaches are great at programming and collecting data from multiple sources, but often fall short when it comes to storing, cleaning, analysing, and reporting that data. Power BI is a great way to improve our workflow when communicating data to coaches and athletes." – Dr. Chris Brandner
