Pacey Performance Podcast

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Paralympic Performance Support at the English Institute of Sport, Tom Paulson and S&C Technical Lead at English Institute of Sport, Luke Sweet. It was made aware to me a month or 2 ago that I have never had a coach on the podcast who works with Paralympic athletes, so for this episode we have two. We don't get into lots of detail around the X's and O's but this episode gives a really interesting overview of what its like to work in Paralympic sport. Hope you enjoy this episode with Tom Paulson and Luke Sweet. Who are Tom Paulson and Luke Sweet (background, education and current role)?
