On episode 9 of the Platform to Perform Podcast, I had my first guest from the world of football, one of Aston Villa Football Club's first team Strength and Conditioning Coaches, Paddy Moore.

 Paddy and I discussed:

-Checking your ego and understanding where strength and conditioning coaches fit in the high-performance puzzle

-Positional profiling in football and how to ensure the physical qualities being developed align with how the manager wants the team to play

-Contextual sprinting, and how to develop speed that can be seen on a pitch where it matters, and just not with the timing gates We also describe coach burnout, gratitude and how social media, for all its positives, can actually be a detriment to your own readiness to perform as a coach
