In this episode of the podcast we're joined by Darren Burgess, current High Performance manager at Melbourne FC and former Director of High Performance at Arsenal FC as well as Liverpool FC. We get to talk to him about managing athletic performance at the highest levels of elite sport, how we can go about measuring both performance & recovery in our athletes for their readiness to perform as well as looking at how to manage their S&C work, pre/rehab work and how to balance all of that alongside getting players on the field for game time! Join us as we dig in deep on Darren's knowledge as a lecturer & researcher, and briefly touch on his own adventure into podcasting & more!
