Sketchnotes: AFL Grand Final Symposium 2017 + timelapse video!

Applied Sport Science, Conferences, Sketchnotes, Uncategorized, , , , , , Leave a comment

This year’s AFL Grand Final Symposium took place on Friday 29th September, 2017. These days, I usually attend any seminar, symposium, or conference with my sketchnoting gear* in tow. This time, I decided to travel light. I live-tweeted periodically throughout the day, as did a few others, but I didn’t do any live sketchnoting as I normally would.

I’ve been thinking for a while (years, really) about capturing my sketchnoting process as it happens. Then it struck me – with key messages from the symposium fresh in my mind, I could easily create a post hoc sketchnote of the event while capturing the process as a screen recording. Three tutorials and some new software installations later, et voila – here’s a timelapse video that demonstrates my sketchnoting process from start to finish. It captures, in ~2 min, what actually took me over 2 hours to create in real time. Enjoy!

And here’s the finished product, featuring comments from:

  • Andrew Russell (Elite Performance Manager, Hawthorn FC; @jackrussellEP)
  • Andrea Farrow (Player Development Coordinator, St Kilda FC; @andyleefarrow)
  • Michelle Cowan (Senior Coach – AFLW, Fremantle FC; @mishcowan)
  • Aasta O’Connor (AFLW player – Western Bulldogs FC & AFL Women’s Academy Manager; @AastaOConnor)

* For those inquiring minds who want to know what I use to create my sketchnotes, here’s the nitty gritty:

  • iPad 3
  • GoodNotes app
  • Adonit Jot Pro stylus
  • I write and draw by hand (i.e., the text you see is my handwriting – not a typeface!)

The 2016 Australian Institute of Sport / Sports Medicine Australia Symposium took place on March 18 & 19, exploring the theme of ‘Silent Contributors to Illness, Injury, and Performance’. Given the calibre of presenters in attendance, I’ve been looking forward to this event for some time and I can safely say that the wait has been worth it!

Here are my sketchnotes from Day 1, including highlights from presentations by:

Brilliant to hear insights from Steve Moneghetti (@steve_mona) and have the chance to meet the great man. An icon in Australia, and rightly so given his remarkable contributions through his athletic career, his ongoing involvement in sport, and his passion for growing the people around him. Here are my sketchnotes from Steve’s address at tonight’s School of Exercise and Nutrition Science Alumni Event held at Deakin University.

Over the years, I’ve had lots of interest in my sketchnotes and am always happy to share insights into my motivation to create and publish sketchnotes, as well as my process. To this end, I was honoured to be invited by the Deakin University Library (@deakinlibrary) to present as part of Deakin Scholars Week 2014 on sketchnotes as a science communication tool. Here are the slides from my presentation:

2014 David Parkin Oration for Sport and Social Change, delivered by Kevin Sheedy

Sketchnotes, , , , , Leave a comment

How often do you get the chance to hear from two people whose lives have been devoted to one sport?  Between David Parkin and Kevin Sheedy, these men have dedicated over 100 years (!!!) to Australian rules football.  But these men are revered not only for what they’ve done for the sport, but how they’ve used footy as a vehicle to drive social progress.  Below are my sketchnotes from the evening and a video of highlights compiled by Deakin:

On June 4th, Darren Burgess (@darrenburgess25) hosted a webinar for Sports Medicine Australia on the topic of load management.  Darren currently leads the high performance program at Port Adelaide F.C. (Australian Football League), where he and his support staff have drawn deserved attention for their contributions to the team’s dramatically improved on-field performances.  Darren’s presentation primarily recounted his experiences and lessons learned during his time at Liverpool F.C. (English Premier League).  Thanks to Darren and Sports Medicine Australia for providing the opportunity to learn from a true leader in sports science and elite athlete performance!  Here are my sketchnotes from the webinar:

Mike Joyner: “The Inactivity Epidemic”

Conferences, Sketchnotes, , , , , Leave a comment

This year’s Exercise and Sports Science Australia conference kicked off in fine fashion, with the opening keynote provided by Dr Michael Joyner from the Mayo Clinic.  Mike’s talk was engaging, clear, but also forward-thinking.  We know that physical inactivity is a problem of epidemic proportions, so what needs to be done is for us all – researchers, clinicians, policy makers, corporations, families, adults and children alike – to put our energies towards solutions.  I found it refreshing to hear such a prominent scholar and physician proposing dramatic and large-scale interventions; if we are to reverse the damning inactivity trend, we need to aim high, think big, and integrate our actions across all sectors.
