Euro 2024 Special: Football referee Anthony Taylor on his preparations for the Euros at the Institute of Sport
In this special Euros episode of Metcast, we spoke to top English football referee Anthony Taylor, ahead of the European Championships in Germany, about his preparations at the University’s Institute of Sport .
In the weeks before the tournament where he is one of 19 referees officiating - and part of a cohort of eight English officials in Germany - Anthony made use of the Institute’s world-class facilities and expertise to complete acclimatise training to help ensure he is in peak physical condition.
This was a return to the Institute of Sport for Anthony, who previously used the facilities to prepare for the World Cup in Qatar.
We also spoke to Senior Lecturer in Sports Performance at the Institute of Sport, Dale Read, who has been leading the team working with Anthony. He explained the work they have done with him and how it benefits his performance.
