Pacey Performance Podcast #197 - Craig Harrison (Director of Athlete Development at AUT Millenium)

In this podcast I am speaking to Director of Athlete Development at AUT Millenium, Dr Craig Harrison. Craig is also a research fellow at AUT and leads the athletic development research group so is a pretty busy guy. It was great to get a fellow podcaster on and from a very selfish point of view, its interesting to know the process he goes through to get his podcast out there, how he chooses guests etc. For all those out there that work with youth athletes, this one is definitely for you. Enjoy.
