In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Director of Performance Nutrition and Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach at the New York Giants, Pratik Patel. Pratik blends two roles at the Giants which is something I haven't encountered in the UK before, however it makes complete sense that someone on the nutrition side should have an in depth knowledge of physical preparation. This was a unique podcast and one that even those with no experience or in depth knowledge of nutrition can find real benefit in listening to. Enjoy.

• Who is Pratik Patel (education, background and current role)

• The more non-traditional Sports Dietitian roles (dual roles) that are becoming more common in sports

• Vegetarianism/veganism with athletes

In this podcast I am speaking to Coach & Manager at Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning and Owner of Movement as Medicine, Kevin Carr. I really enjoyed this episode with Kevin as it built nicely on the back of the previous episode where I was interviewed by Brett Bartholomew. A lot of what Kevin and I discussed was like music to my ears as I think it's essential to hear of how a strength coach like him has built a really successful business and has diversified so well. As well as all the business development chat, there is also plenty of talk in there about how Kevin coaches a huge variety of populations and how his language, demonstrations and education differs. Enjoy.

In this episode, you will learn -

• Who is Kevin Carr (background, education & current role)

• Language

• Lifestyle

• Biggest lessons learnt from Mike

• Strategies to keep players on the ice

I asked Brett to be the one to do the interviewing because I knew that he would ask me questions that knocked me out of my comfort zone and I know it definitely did that. Hopefully this episode gives people a little bit of an insight into my thought on a few topics I have been harping on about a lot recently. Enjoy.

It was an absolute pleasure to speak with Rick for this episode and we covered some really interesting areas.

I haven't had too many guests who work in the US collegiate system so it was great to get Rick on who was so open and willing to share. Enjoy.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I have the pleasure to speak to Assistant Professor in Exercise Science at Carroll University, Tim Suchomel. This is Tim's second appearance on the podcast and one that is a long time overdue. A lot of Tim's research has focused on weightlifting, their derivatives and their impact on sports performance so naturally, this was where we spent a lot of the conversation. I think this podcast is going to be music to the ears of many sports coaches who get concerned about teaching the full Olympic lifts with him offering them some excellent solutions in this episode. Enjoy.
