Using Commas and Brackets
If I try to write "When combined with suppleness (above), a player..." should I put the comma after the brackets, before the brackets (after suppleness), or in both places. In fact, in writing this, I notice that I have just written another example.

The way you have written it (both times) looks right to me, and is logical. The "(above)" should stay right next to the word "suppleness. In fact, you could think of the ( ) as serving as a replacement for before-and-after commas, which works better than commas in this case.

Hi,
If I try to write "When combined with suppleness (above), a player..." should I put the comma after the brackets, before the brackets (after suppleness), or in both places. In fact, in writing this, I notice that I have just written another example.
If you want to write well, just avoid using brackets at all.
In other words, plan and structure your sentences more
