On this episode I interviewed Jackson McKellar who is the NRL Rehabilitation Coach with the New Zealand Warriors.
This episode’s focus was expanding on what his role entails as well as Jackson’s emphasis of the importance of coming up through community sport or different grades before making the transition to pro and how he has adapted to his new role.
