Neck Strength for Sport - REMAKER webinar

Unlock elite neck training with F1 coach John Noonan - why it matters, how to train it, and practical methods for any sport.
Neck Strength for Sport: A Modern, Evidence-Led Approach to Athletic Development

Delivered by Noonan Performance in collaboration with Remaker

Overview

The neck is one of the most undervalued yet decisive areas in athletic performance. Whether you work in sport science, physio, S&C or sports medicine, developing a clear and practical approach to neck assessment and training is now essential.

This webinar brings together applied expertise from elite Motorsport, Football, Rugby and Olympic pathways to deliver an actionable framework for evaluating, training and progressing the athletic neck.

Moving beyond basic isometrics, we’ll explore a multidimensional approach that integrates strength, rotation, endurance, proprioception, fatigue profiling and force diagnostics — all supported by clear programming principles you can apply immediately.

This is a practical, evidence-informed session designed for practitioners who want to elevate their understanding and confidently deliver neck training with impact.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Build a clear model of neck athletic development

• Key pillars: strength, endurance, stability, proprioception, rotation and integrated function• How to construct a season-long progression adaptable to any sport

2. Assess & monitor neck performance using practical, reliable tools

• Isometric and dynamic testing approaches• Understanding force profiles, asymmetry, fatigue responses and adaptation trends• Monitoring options with or without technology

3. Design effective training programmes for the cervical musculature

• Evidence-based loading principles• Safe and progressive exercise selection• Sport-specific modifications (motorsport, football, combat, rugby, etc.)

4. Reduce injury risk & improve tissue resilience

• Neck strength and its relationship to head acceleration and concussion• Strategies for vulnerable, deconditioned or previously injured athletes• Return-to-sport considerations

5. Apply elite-level insights directly to your environment

• Case examples from Formula 1, professional sport academies and combat athletes• Common mistakes practitioners make — and what actually drives adaptation• Practical tools you can implement the next day
