Pacey Performance Podcast #51 - Derek Evely (High Performance Coach)

In this episode of the podcast I speak with Derek Evely who Stuart McMillan described as 'truly one of the best coaches I have ever come across'. This interview came about when I put out a request on Twitter to see who listeners wanted on the podcast over the next few weeks, so thanks to Alex Natera (who featured in episode 44 and 45) for the connection. Derek is one of the go-to guys when it comes to the methodology of coach/methodologist Anatoliy Bondarchuk so the majority of this episode is discussing his experiences working alongside Dr. B and the ins and outs of the methodology itself.
