What’s really changed in high performance over the last 20 years?

In this episode of VALDCAST, Mark Fitzgerald shares lessons from decades in elite sport — from early days with minimal data to today’s tech-driven environments.

He dives into:

• Why coaching intuition still matters (and how tech should support it)
• Managing athlete relationships and “owning the room”
• Making better decisions with both objective and subjective data
• Building trust so athletes actually buy in
• Why your real value as a coach goes far beyond programming

This conversation is a must-watch for coaches, practitioners and sports scientists looking to evolve with the industry, without losing what matters most.
