Writing a career development plan, the importance of mentorship, and CPD with Nick Grantham (Performance Enhancement Specialist)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Performance Enhancement Specialist, Nick Grantham. Nick is on for a second time after the INCREDIBLE success of part 1 where we spoke about career development, internships and everything in between. I did have so much planned for a part 2 and we were going to chat about training and Nick's various role in pro sport but there seems to be a real thirst from listeners for more chat about the topics discussed in part 1.
