Peter Davidson

[Scotty]

Didnt see this mentioned on the official site but the Highland News is reporting that Brew has brought back Peter Davidson as fitness coach. Brew got a lot of credit for the fitness level of the squad in his first stint here but a lot of that was down to PD ...... this is one signing we can all be happy about !

Brew told the HN that he's brought back his former fitness coach Peter Davidson to Inverness. He said: "I'm delighted to have him back. He worked well with us before and he's here on a part-time basis for a couple of months and then we'll take it from there." Davidson worked with Brew and Malky Thomson, both at Inverness and then at Dundee United.

I'm happy with that, they work well together. Peter is a great guy who knows his stuff.  Welcome back I say.

Dr Who?

Peter was at Inverness College and came to Caley Thistle part time before moving with CB to Tannadice. When CB left DU, Peter stayed on until a few months ago but has now returned to Inverness and is back with ICT part time.

During his previous spell at ICT, I had a number of great conversations with Peter about training, fitness and conditioning and I am in no doubt that he is extremely well versed in his subject. Certainly we found ourselves very much singing from the same hymnsheet on the occasions that we did have a talk.

Is this to whip up into shape for the 1st Division next season?  :024:

This might have been a revolutionary idea a few years ago but all the other clubs have now cottoned on to how well we did and there players are just as fit now.

It appears Brewster just wants athletes who can chase the long ball all day and any player with a bit of flair/creativity won't fit into his plans  :018:

So, whens Malky coming back? :023:

But the return of Davidson is mightily welcomed - Hope he is conentrating on Mr Niculae.

Shuttles, sprinting, backward and sideways sprinting - Arrange a line of cones 3 yards apart and 30 yards long. Players sprint to the 1st cone and then back; 2nd cone then back; and so on.

Up and down the clock- 10 yd; 20 yd, 30 yd, 40 yd, and 50 yd sprints then walks back breathing deeply. Arrange cones in 10 yard distances; develop progressive long run sprinting and develop breathing for recovery.

Agility running- around cones: Stand sideways to the line cones; start at the first cone and run between each cone sideways; use small; quick steps. Purpose: Improves forward movement and side movement.

Up and down drill- Objective: Improve speed by running short sprints forwards and backwards.

Posture running - over cones: Start at the end of the line cones; run over the top of the cones; lift your knees high. Purpose: To keep upper body and head still while running.

Start at the end of the line of cones; sprint to the cone diagonally in front; go around the cone; back pedal to the opposite next cone; go around it; repeat the process; go through all the cones; jog back to the starting point. Look For: Explosiveness on first step; body straight and leaning forward; arm movement on sprints; arm movement on back pedalling.

Dont know about you but I am fair fecked after that.  :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Oh well, that sort of explains why Peter and not IHE is the fitness coach!  :015:

Apparently he replaces the cones with bottles of vodka, he now holds the record for completing the course.
