In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Owner of Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning, Mike Boyle. This is another part 2 after Mike appeared in episode #118 and one that was inspired by a recent article in the English media (https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/maurizio-sarri-reveals-banned-lifting-13554816) which seemed to reveal that Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri had banned his players from lifting weights.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Director of Athletic Performance for Men's Basketball at Wake Forest University, Ryan Horn. This episode with Ryan has been a long time coming. I have listened to him on a number of other podcasts and was dying to have a good chat with him. I took the conversation in a slightly different route than maybe Ryan is used to but I still think that there is so much value in this episode from a management and overall industry perspective. Given the topics in this episode, you may also be interested in my recent episodes with Nick Grantham & Keir Wenham-Flatt. Enjoy this episode with Ryan Horn.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to Athletic Performance Coach at University of Richmond, Keir Wenham-Flatt. ANOTHER long overdue part 2 on this episode. Keir first came on the podcast in episode #2 and its safe to say that a lot has changed for both of us since then. Keir has since worked in the NRL, Argentina Rugby, Japanese Rugby, Richmond University and more recently with the College of William and Mary. Anyone that knows Keir (AKA Rugby Strength Coach...) will know how outspoken he is which is why he is such a great guy to speak with. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Assistant Coach at the New South Wales Waratahs, Simon Cron. The topic of dealing with coaches and catering for what they want comes up a lot in conversations on the podcast but getting the opinion of the coach directly is something I want to do more of on the podcast. It was a privilege to speak to Simon who have such an honest chat around his thoughts on athletic development and the coaches he has worked with. Enjoy.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Performance Enhancement Specialist and Author, Nick Grantham. I must admit, its taken me far too long to get Nick on the podcast. Nick did feature as a round table guest in a Special Football Edition of the podcast in episode #21 but it was great to get him on a podcast on his own. There are so many things I could have spoken to Nick about given his unbelievable experience but I decided on S&C for youth athletes and something that Nick has been very vocal about over the last 5 years and thats getting a job in S&C. Hopefully this will lead to a part 2 to discuss everything else. Enjoy.

• Building a philosophy

• Where do we start?

• Does this lead to a lack of creativity?

• How?
