Certified fitness trainer, Jaryle Moore, has been appointed the strength and conditioning coach of the Guyana Harpy Eagles, according to the Guyana Cricket Board.
“Moore is a fitness trainer certified by the International Sports Science Association. Moore recently worked at the Ministry of Education attached to Queen’s College where he taught Physical Education and Sports. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy, a Graduate Diploma in Computer Science, Psychology at the Cambridge A Level, and CXC subjects in the area of science,” the board stated in a press release.
Moore said that he was happy to be appointed as the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Guyana Cricket Board and that he “is keen on using his knowledge and experience to improve players by getting them to match readiness.”
He indicated that thorough planning on mental, skills and decision-making will be necessary for player growth. This approach will help to realize improved performances and so help the players to transition to higher competitive levels.
Moore’s appointment is in keeping with Cricket West Indies’ (CWI) sports medicine and science strategy for the development of players and complements the appointment of physiotherapist, Angelica Holder who assumed duties in December last.
The board noted, “CWI Manager of Sports Medicine and Science Dr. Oba Gulston expressed gratitude to the Territorial Boards for their commitment shown in the appointment of physiotherapists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches.”
Dr. Gulston indicated that “the assignments of the physiotherapists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches will greatly improve the medical support for all players in our system and the communication between our medical professionals, teams, and players.”
Further, Dr. Gulston mentioned that “CWI will centrally train all the Strength and Conditioning Coaches and Physiotherapists to ensure compliance with operating procedures for testing. The Territorial Board’s assigned Strength and Conditioning Coach and Physiotherapist will now be able to work collaboratively to carry out the relevant tests locally for all players Men, Women, and Youths within their Territory. Given this fact, it is necessary that each Territorial Board has access to the correct equipment, with the initial equipment purchases including that Timing gates, Jump Mats, Dynamometer (Muscle tester) with an expansion pack, and Software and IT support for all equipment.”
