In episode 68 of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to Allistair McCaw who most recently known for his work in Tennis with Kevin Anderson. But looking at his CV (Here) you can see that he has working with some of the top athletes in the world in sports such as cricket, football, squash and tennis. The reason Allistair's story and expertise really interest me is that he has been a 'consultant' all his career. This led us to discuss many things off air including marketing, advertising and everything in between. Also as an athlete Allistair has so much experience and I believe that he is successful not only because of his knowledge and experience but because of his hugely broad skill set, something we all should take note of.
In this episode you will learn -
- How do you deal with the asymmetrical nature of tennis from an S&C standpoint? (James Darley)
- What do you do for shoulder health? (James Darley)
- Challenges faced specifically by tennis players on and off the court (Gary Hutt)
- Different S&C with single and double handed back hands (Stu Roche)

In episode 67 I talk with Gil Blander. Now, Gil is the founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Inside Tracker which is a company which provides science-based blood analytics to athletes and the general population. In the episode Gil takes us through the journey of why blood is such an important marker for not only performance but for general health and well being. Inside Tracker has been mentioned a few times on the podcast, firstly by Carl Valle and then by Bruce Williams so it made sense to see what all the fuss was about and take this podcast episode in a slightly different direction.

- Who is Gil Blander (background, experience and current role)
