In Episode 5 we take a step back from training theory and dive into the story behind our coaching careers and businesses.

Nick, Jack, and Dylan talk through how each of us entered the sport science and coaching world - from early internships and time spent at institutes, to the lessons learned working across different sports.

We discuss the realities of building a career in cycling performance, the challenges within the coaching industry, and how NOC Sports Science and Pinnacle Performance were created from the ground up.

The conversation covers the early risks of starting a coaching business, different approaches to coaching, and why collaboration between coaches is so important for athlete development.
