Pacey Performance Podcast

In this episode I speak with Head of Performance at Bristol Rugby, Mark Bennett. Mark Bennett is an ex Welsh international player and was previously with the WRU and Ospreys. Mark is possibly the most open guest we have had on the podcast which was amazing! His experience in the sport as both a player and a coach is invaluable and to listen to Mark speak about his athlete to coach transition is well worth the listen alone. Please make sure you check out his Twitter page (below) because he puts data that he has collected from his players out on a regular basis!

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to Ollie Richardson who is Head of Performance at Kubota Spears in Japan. Ollie has a really interesting story, going from England to Australia with the Queensland Reds and onto his current role in Japan. The bulk of our discussion in this episode focuses around his expertise in mixed martial arts and how skills developed by fighters can be transferred to the rugby pitch. With Japan's surprise performances at the world cup, this episode comes at a great time.

In this episode I speak with Andrea Hudy, Assistant Athletics Director of Sports Performance at the University of Kansas and Author of Power Positions. It was a pleasure to speak with Andrea after reading her book earlier in the year and after speaking with her extensively about it, I would recommend it even more. Both Chris Tombs and Bryan Mann recommended Andrea to me for the podcast and again, when these guys speak, I listen.

I must thank Marco Altini (HRV4Training) for providing great content in the technology segment on heart rate variability. If you are interested in further reading on interpreting HRV trends, check out this post on Marco's blog

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I speak with world renowned sprint coach, Jonas Dodoo. Jonas is currently coaching one of the best young sprint groups in Europe, if not the world. I did an interview with Jonas earlier in the year but after a review of the content Jonas believed that he could offer even more content. You definitely won't be disappointed with the outcome second time around!

Thank you very much for all the questions for Jonas that were put out on Twitter, hopefully we covered them all in this episode. I must also thank Marco Altini (HRV4Training) for providing great content in the technology segment on heart rate variability.

In this episode I speak with Director of Sports Science at Notre Dame University, Matt Howley. I was actually speaking with Bryan Mann (who appeared on podcast #24) and he insisted that I speak with Matt about his work at Notre Dame and when Bryan says that someone is worth speaking to, I listen. It was a great chat with Matt and I must thank him for his time during a busy in-season travelling up and down the country.

In this episode I am again speaking with someone I met in Seattle and that's Jonny Northeast, Head of Sports Science at Swansea Football Club. Over the last 10 years Swansea have had progressive managers in charge of the club and it sounds like it's no different now with Gary Monk. Jonny is very open in this episode with the techniques used by himself and his team to get the guys ready for a Saturday. Oh, and he's a super nice guy as well!

After Tweeting all listeners to see who people want to hear on the podcast, we have JB Morin on the phone for this episode. It feels like we have been trying for weeks to get this sorted out due to busy diaries and horrible internet connection, but we finally have it live. JB is a really interesting guy and someone I saw speak at the UKSCA conference in 2014 which was a very engaging review of his research. He's the first guy on from mainland Europe which marks another first for the podcast!

In this episode of the podcast I speak with Derek Evely who Stuart McMillan described as 'truly one of the best coaches I have ever come across'. This interview came about when I put out a request on Twitter to see who listeners wanted on the podcast over the next few weeks, so thanks to Alex Natera (who featured in episode 44 and 45) for the connection. Derek is one of the go-to guys when it comes to the methodology of coach/methodologist Anatoliy Bondarchuk so the majority of this episode is discussing his experiences working alongside Dr. B and the ins and outs of the methodology itself.

In the 50th episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I have a really great guest in Brett Bartholomew. Brett works for EXOS as a performance coach, working with NFL players in Arizona during their off-season. The reason I wanted to get Brett on as the podcasts' 50th guest is because he is so open with is work with EXOS and he continues to inspire coaches with his positivity and enthusiasm for what he does. He was very kind to fit me in to his very busy schedule at this time of year.

In this episode of the podcast I speak with David Sutton who is Head of Strength and Conditioning for Northants County Cricket Club. This is the first guest on the podcast who is currently working in cricket so it was great to get him on. I was introduced to David through the Performance Forum hosted by Darren Roberts when he gave a talk on his work with fast bowlers. The talk really changed my perception of cricket and the demands of the game so I had to get him on as I feel this perception is far-reaching.
