At Philmont FC, we not only stay up to date with the current literature, but also find ways to utilize this empirical information through the programming we offer. To that end, not only do we read the research, but we also take part in publishing our own studies domestically and internationally. Philmont FC seeks to constantly be informed and ensure that we not only contribute to the body of knowledge, but that we are substantiated by peer-review and/or vigorous science. Please see a comprehensive list of such contributions we've made to the science:
