In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking with performance coach, speaker and now AUTHOR, Allistair McCaw. Allistair appeared in episode 68 of the podcast and we chatted about the release of his new book and promised to get him back on when it was done, it's now its out. Without just reviewing the book, I decided to pick a select number of areas that appear in the book and try to dig a little bit deeper so hopefully, I have done Allistair justice.

In episode #88 of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to the owner of Sparta Science, Phil Wagner. Sparta is making a big impact in the U.S and is starting to work with a number of rugby teams in the English Premiership and you may remember them being talked about a lot in the episode with Andrea Hudy of Kansas State. With technology, and in particular technology that aids in the monitoring of athletes, being such a talking point I thought of no better way than to get on the owner of a company that is in this thick of this section of the industry.
In this episode, you will learn -
- Who is Phil Wagner?
- What is Sparta Science?
- Developing a movement signature
- Data reliance
- Data > psychological factors?
- Future of sports technology?
