Guyett reveals strategy behind coaching during a pandemic

It’s been a Premier League season like no other, with a packed schedule seeing the games come thick and fast, so Palace TV sat down with the club’s Fitness Coach Scott Guyett to ask him how he’s handled such a busy year in – wait for it – such unprecedented times.

“The last 12 months have been really, really tough,” he says, “even going to the back end of last season.

“You come into this season after a very short break, and there are a lot of challenges. Pre-season with COVID-19 – although you were back in training – you weren’t able to do a traditional pre-season; not just because you had a reduced amount of time to do it in, but you’re restricted as to what type of drills you can do.
