Jon completed his undergraduate degree in Science and Soccer at Liverpool John Moores University in 2008. Jon gradually developed a passion for understanding how skeletal muscle adapts to training and how diet modulates these responses. As such, Jon studied for a PhD at Liverpool John Moores University with a focus on the exercise-induced cell signalling responses of human skeletal muscle with a special emphasis on the effects of training with low carbohydrate availability. During this period, Jon also had a passion for working in soccer, and was fortunate to work as a Sport Scientist with Liverpool FC for 18 months during his PhD. Upon finishing with LFC, Jon began working as a Sport Scientist for the England National Soccer teams providing Sport Science support to various National teams on camp and at major tournaments. Once Jon finished his PhD in 2012, he joined the England National set up as a full time lead Sport Scientist in a dual role with Liverpool John Moores University as a post-doctoral researcher. During this time, Jon was able to combine his research interests understanding training adaptation alongside his role where he was charged with the responsibility of implementing an evidence-based Sport Science support strategy for the England National teams. Jon has now taken up a full-time post (March 2014) with Victoria University in Melbourne as a Sport Science Research Fellow that will see Jon continue researching similar avenues of understanding training adaptation, whilst working as the Sport Scientist for the Western Bulldogs FC, where Jon will focus on delivering a forward thinking, contemporary and innovative Sport Science programme that ultimately aims to enhance athletic performance. Jon has so published in the area of training adaptations with a special emphasis on how carbohydrate manipulates a certain training response.
