In today’s episode I talk to Nick Winkelman, who is the Head of performance and science at the Irish rugby football union and previously worked at EXOS in America - one of the world leading sports performance companies.

 

Nick is one of the leading strength & conditioning coaches in the world; with publications in leading journals, a well renowned published book on coaching language and one of the most passionate coaches I have ever met. We go into detail on how he builds relationships and collaborates with people he works with, the ins and outs of sprint mechanics and specifically his work on external and internal cueing - which can help with any movement (not just sprinting), The EXOS pillars (which heavily influenced how I developed the athlete coach foundations) and how they can help anybody from a pro sportsman to someone wanting to be healthier and finally his insightful views on the 3 key attributes to accelerate physical and mental development.

 

This episode is for any coach, player or person who wants to learn from one of the best in the business about human performance.
