In episode #88 of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to the owner of Sparta Science, Phil Wagner. Sparta is making a big impact in the U.S and is starting to work with a number of rugby teams in the English Premiership and you may remember them being talked about a lot in the episode with Andrea Hudy of Kansas State. With technology, and in particular technology that aids in the monitoring of athletes, being such a talking point I thought of no better way than to get on the owner of a company that is in this thick of this section of the industry.

In this episode, you will learn -
