- Episode #005 Marcel Brache-USA Eagle and Western ForceIn this episode #005, I sit down to have a chat with Marcel Brache about his Super Rugby career and his recent international appearance for the USA Eagles rugby union team.This interview may have strayed from the topic of sleep, but I think you will find that Marcel’s story is inspiring. Marcel openly speaks about the loss of his father at a young age, the influence of his family and the positive influence of rugby union. He may have strayed from the path as a young man (haven’t we all), but he found his purpose once again in rugby union. Marcel is a fun, easy going man with a positive attitude. We discuss the future of the Western Force and how the men in blue are united with the fans of Western Australia to never give up on their future in Super Rugby.We also discuss the pre-game, game and post-game aspects of sleep and recovery and how elite rugby union players manage international and interstate travel for such competitive events.Check out more about Marcel at the following links:Western Force profile https://www.westernforce.com.au/team-member/marcel-bracheUSA rugby profile https://www.usarugby.org/player/marcel-brache/Twitter @brache87He has a Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_BracheMusic for this episode is courtesy of www.bensound.comFurther information on Sleep4PerformanceSubscribe on iTunesSubscribe on PodbeanCheck out the website and sign up for blogs, podcast news and free downloads www.sleep4performance.com.auClick here for Facebook were I post regularly throughout the week.Click here for Twitter to keep up to date with my ramblings on sleep, sport and anything!!!Contact me and feedback at [email protected]56 min
- Season1 #Episode 3: Napping and Jet Lag in Elite Athletes with Georgia Romyn
In this episode I speak with Georgia Romyn. This podcast was recorded at the Working Time Society (WTS) conference at the stunning Uluru in central Australia.
Georgia is a sport scientist currently based in Canberra as a PhD Scholar at the Australian Institute of Sport and Central Queensland University. Her research focuses on the impact of sleep and daytime napping on athletic performance, as well as strategies to optimise athlete performance when travelling. Coming from a background as a netball athlete, Georgia has a passion for high performance sport. Since finishing a first-class honours degree in Sport Science, Exercise and Health from the University of Western Australia in 2013, Georgia has worked with elite, professional and Olympic athletes from a range of sports. When she is not researching, thinking about, or actually getting some sleep, she can be found coaching, hiking, camping or planning a new travel adventure.
