Pacey Performance Podcast #186 - Steve Barrett (First Team Lead Sports Scientist)

This is the first in person podcast I have done and it was great to chat to First Team Lead Sports Scientist at Hull City, Steve Barrett. Steve is a GREAT guy and like a few of the other guests I have had on recently, is a 'pracademic', someone who has a foot in both the academic and applied camp. With Steve's PhD investigating PlayerLoad, we naturally focus a lot around training monitoring but also dig into issues which he faces at Hull with multiple managers over the last few years. Enjoy!

In this episode, you will learn -

Who is Steve Barrett (background, education and current role)

Current role
