Multi mechanical models using GPS; setting targets & predicting session outputs with Jack Sharkey (Lead Sports Scientist at Aston Villa Football Club)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Lead Sports Scientist at Aston Villa Football Club, Jack Sharkey. This fantastic episode was inspired after I watched Jack present at a Catapult meet up earlier this year ar Villa Park. The main focus of Jack's presentation was around multi mechanical modelling and how he uses this at Aston Villa. In this episode, Jack explains what it is, why he's using it and how this has developed his practice. If you are collecting GPS data at your club, this is definitely one to listen to.

Hope you enjoy this episode with Jack Sharkey.
