In this episode of the podcast I speak with Derek Evely who Stuart McMillan described as 'truly one of the best coaches I have ever come across'. This interview came about when I put out a request on Twitter to see who listeners wanted on the podcast over the next few weeks, so thanks to Alex Natera (who featured in episode 44 and 45) for the connection. Derek is one of the go-to guys when it comes to the methodology of coach/methodologist Anatoliy Bondarchuk so the majority of this episode is discussing his experiences working alongside Dr. B and the ins and outs of the methodology itself.
- Who is Derek Evely (education, background and current role)
- Working for UK athletics and the build up to London 2012
- Working alongside Dr. Bondarchuk

In this episode of the podcast I speak with David Sutton who is Head of Strength and Conditioning for Northants County Cricket Club. This is the first guest on the podcast who is currently working in cricket so it was great to get him on. I was introduced to David through the Performance Forum hosted by Darren Roberts when he gave a talk on his work with fast bowlers. The talk really changed my perception of cricket and the demands of the game so I had to get him on as I feel this perception is far-reaching.
In this episode you will learn -
- Who is David Sutton (background, education and current role)
- Perceptions of cricket
- Demands of cricket
- Working with players in-season vs off-season vs pre season
- Building and managing relationships with technical coaches
