Obviously we spoke about his work in tennis but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to speak to him about his work in other sports.

- Recovery during tournaments
- Strength & power training for tennis

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to High Performance Manager at Harris & Ross Physiotherapy and former HP Manager at Red Bull, Darren Roberts. This is Darren's second appearance on the podcast and we have a very specific topic in mind with this episode - coach health. Darren has been running a 'performance forum' in Manchester for the last year which invites practitioners to come and share ideas through short presentations and open discussion. These have been a great way to not only share ideas but build a community and I would encourage anyone to follow Darren's lead and start something like this in their corner of the world.
In this episode you will learn -
- Who is Darren Roberts (background, education and current role)
- The realities of high performance sport
- Strategies for coaches to look after their own health
- Opportunities outside of coaching for coaches
