The Grumpy Metalheads Podcast/ The Heavy Metal Strength Coach Podcast

In today's episode, we welcome Great Britain Head Junior Classic Coach Jason Coultman. This was an episode where me and Jasson had varying approaches which have made me rethink some of my methods regarding pre-competition preparation. These are the best episodes and facilitate change and growth for both coach and athletes. 

Jason was a great guest. I think you'll love this one.

Today we welcome the owner of GB Powerlifting Support, Mr Chris Gillard.

In a chat full to the brim of everything Powerlifting, we go from how Chris' Instagram page got started to how he became involved in supporting the sport in person, driving thousands of miles a month to spot, load and MC at dozens of Powerlifting competitions around the UK. 

We talk his vision of the future of Powerlifting, what it takes to run such a popular page and his journey with powerlifting and his own mental health.

I think this is a wonderful episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
