In this episode, Daire explained how physiotherapy works, some simple truths about muscle building programmes and he also added some interesting philosophical aspects of not accepting losing but taking one's life and create own destiny. 

This is the second time I had a chat with Daire Smith. If you haven't heard the first one I recommend checking Podcast #13.

We had a great conversation with Alan about his twenty years long profession as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. He regrets he didn't step up his knowledge in the first years so he could be a better coach for his clients. He spoke about his calf injury that led to a full rupture of his Achilles tendon and how he sees team sports at the age of forty. And some training philosophy that one can realise with years of experience.

Different topics were mentioned and Philip even asked me a few questions.
