In this episode of Mono E Mono, Host of the show and former pro rugby player Shane Monahan spoke with the team behind KineMo, a cutting-edge motion‑capture technology startup on a mission to quantify, track, and analyse whole‑body kinematics for athletes—whether in a controlled training environment or dynamic game‑time conditions.

Shane spoke with commercial lead Leo Peyton and Professor Ciaran Simms expert in biomechanics to discover how their simple‑to‑use, scalable platform enables coaches, trainers, and athletes at every level of sport to monitor movement with pinpoint accuracy, unlocking insights into performance, injury prevention, and progression over time.

• What makes their tool uniquely accessible and scalable for both grassroots and elite levels
• Real‑world use cases: from gym‑based training to on‑field sports environments
• Why consistent whole‑body tracking matters—and how it transforms athlete performance
• Sneak peek at future innovations in AI‑powered sports biomechanics

Whether you're an athlete, coach, sports scientist, or performance enthusiast, this episode gives you a front‑row seat into the future of movement analytics, sports technology, and athlete development.

This podcast was originally recorded back in 2019, Sadly Big Dave Fagan passed away on the 4th of December 2024. As a result I wanted to reshare this episode and share the words of a great coach and great man. Dave was a massive influence on me as a rugby player and indeed 1000's of players at Leinster rugby. The lessons he instilled have stood the test of time helping me also to become a better man. He leaves a lasting memory on every player and person he coached in his exceptional career. I regret we didn't get to record that second podcast together however I am thankful we have this episode to remember him by. Good bye Dave you will be missed, thank you for everything.

Original episode description: 

For the latest episode of Mono E Mono I met with one of the unsung heroes of Leinster rugby and Irish rugby as a whole Big Dave Fagan. Dave is the Leinster rugby Sub Academy manager & director of underage athletic development. Dave was a massive influence on myself in the early stages of my rugby career I spent 2 years earning my stripes in the dungeon of the sub academy and also worked with Dave on the international front as he was the strength and conditioning coach for the 2007 Grand slam Ireland U20's squad. The sub Academy is known as a right of passage in leinster rugby, It was during this period that I developed into a professional athlete both mentally and physically. The Sub Academy was extremly difficult but great fun at the same time I have some very happy memories from this period of my live and it was a pleasure to catch up with Dave again after so many years. #Leinsterrugby #subacademy #MEM008 #DaveFagan #rugby #mindset #BigDave #irishrugby #health #fitness #monoEmonoep8

Tom Biggs is a former professional rugby player who began his career with Leeds Tykes, winning the Powergen Cup in his debut season, before going on to enjoy spells at Newcastle Falcons and Bath Rugby. He joined Worcester in 2014, helping them to secure promotion to the Aviva Premiership the following year. Tom also played a key role representing his peers off the field, having been Worcester’s RPA Representative. Tom retired from rugby in 2017 

Since his retirement Tom has worked in commercial real estate as well as pour his passion for health and fitness into his online coaching business "Tom Biggs Training" helping men build muscle and lose fat to look like an 80's action hero. He has also traveled the world helping to coach the Chinese and Thai rugby squads. 

Host of the Mono E Mono podcast Shane Monahan have a shared history having played against each other in the famous West Country rugby derby between Bath and Gloucester. As if often the case the two men knew of each other but didn't really know each other so it was great to connect and learn that they also have a mutual love of 80's action movies, bodybuilding, WWE pro wrestling and of course Arnold Schwarzaneggar movies.
