Pacey Performance Podcast

Back to the traditional format for this podcast with Ben Williams. Ben is Head of Human Performance at the British Americas Cup challenging team, Ineos Team UK. Heading up that team is Sir Ben Ainsley who we speak a lot about and how he has influenced Ben's practice and mindset having worked with him for 4 years. This is one of the most interesting podcasts I have ever done and that is due to it being on the topic of sailing which I know nothing about and the Americas Cup preparations which sounds an incredible environment to be in. Enjoy!
