Pacey Performance Podcast

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Athletic Performance and Science at Irish Rugby, Nick Winkelman. This is Nick's second time on the podcast after he appeared in episode 93 well over 2 years ago. In that episode we discussed coaching science and cueing, both of which we get an update on in this episode. Irish Rugby have made incredible strides over the last 2 years and Nick has been a huge part of that so it was great to get him on for a part 2. Hope you enjoy this episode with Nick Winkelman.
