In this episode of The Women's Footy Podcast, Jacob discussed what specific strength exercises you should do for your position. Jacob approached this topic from the perspective of the 40 Fit program.

Jacob gives a quick overview of his background. He has a double degree in sports science and teaching from university. Additionally, Jacob pursued further education by completing a graduate diploma in psychology. In terms of practical experience, Jacob has been heavily involved in strength and conditioning. He received recognized prior learning (RPL) to complete his level one strength and conditioning course through the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA).

Jacob’s professional journey led him to work at the Northern Territory Institute of Sport, where he held various roles, including consultant, employee, and casual staff member. One of his key responsibilities involved managing and facilitating the research project Movement. This initiative aimed to develop physical competence, also known as physical literacy, in young children. The goal was to ensure that children were proficient in various physical skills, laying a solid foundation for their teenage years. This became crucial as he observed that teenagers born between 2000 and 2005 were lacking physical competency as they entered their teenage years.
