Pacey Performance Podcast #280 - Dan Baker (Strength & Conditioning Coach, Lecturer & Speaker)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Strength & Conditioning Coach, Lecturer & Speaker, Dan Baker. Well over three years since we recorded episode #100, I am back with a part two with Dan Baker. Dan is an incredibly engaging speaker and in this episode delivers some incredible value for those interested in velocity based training. We also take a little detour at the start of the chat to discuss the S&C market in Australia, the minimum wage and what the ASCA are doing to safeguard their members from exploitation. 

If you enjoyed this episode on velocity based training, these episodes with Chris Chapman, Bryan Mann, and the Velocity Based Training Masterclass.

Hope you enjoy this episode with Dan Baker.
