In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to Ollie Richardson who is Head of Performance at Kubota Spears in Japan. Ollie has a really interesting story, going from England to Australia with the Queensland Reds and onto his current role in Japan. The bulk of our discussion in this episode focuses around his expertise in mixed martial arts and how skills developed by fighters can be transferred to the rugby pitch. With Japan's surprise performances at the world cup, this episode comes at a great time.

In this episode I speak with Andrea Hudy, Assistant Athletics Director of Sports Performance at the University of Kansas and Author of Power Positions. It was a pleasure to speak with Andrea after reading her book earlier in the year and after speaking with her extensively about it, I would recommend it even more. Both Chris Tombs and Bryan Mann recommended Andrea to me for the podcast and again, when these guys speak, I listen.
I must thank Marco Altini (HRV4Training) for providing great content in the technology segment on heart rate variability. If you are interested in further reading on interpreting HRV trends, check out this post on Marco's blog

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I speak with world renowned sprint coach, Jonas Dodoo. Jonas is currently coaching one of the best young sprint groups in Europe, if not the world. I did an interview with Jonas earlier in the year but after a review of the content Jonas believed that he could offer even more content. You definitely won't be disappointed with the outcome second time around!
Thank you very much for all the questions for Jonas that were put out on Twitter, hopefully we covered them all in this episode. I must also thank Marco Altini (HRV4Training) for providing great content in the technology segment on heart rate variability.

In this episode I speak with Director of Sports Science at Notre Dame University, Matt Howley. I was actually speaking with Bryan Mann (who appeared on podcast #24) and he insisted that I speak with Matt about his work at Notre Dame and when Bryan says that someone is worth speaking to, I listen. It was a great chat with Matt and I must thank him for his time during a busy in-season travelling up and down the country.
