'No d*ckheads'. Building the best rugby players in the world with Nic Gill (Strength and Conditioning Coach at the All Blacks)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I have the pleasure in speaking to Strength & Conditioning Coach for the All Blacks, Nic Gill. Nic has been on my radar for a podcast for a long time and I was delighted when we found time in the diary to get it done. Nic is a class act and this podcast is a MUST for anyone working with athletes.

In this episode, you will learn -

  • Who is Nic Gill (background, experience, and current role)
  • The balance between technical/tactical and physical
  • Ensuring the players are in peak condition when they come into camp
    • Do you monitor or rely on good relationships with the super rugby teams
  • Do you monitor during international periods and use this to manipulate training
  • What does a test match week look like and why?
  • Bigger, faster, stronger - the myths
  • Your training philosophy
  • What physical qualities are the biggest determinants to achieve such a game…eg high speed, power, repeat effort or is it high levels of technical resilience and robustness that ensures skills and tactics remain intact under high levels of fatigue?
    • Do you employ any fitness strategies during your time with them to achieve the specific physical qualities you desire?
