Pacey Performance Podcast #58 - Mark Bennett (Head of Performance at Bristol Rugby)

In this episode I speak with Head of Performance at Bristol Rugby, Mark Bennett. Mark Bennett is an ex Welsh international player and was previously with the WRU and Ospreys. Mark is possibly the most open guest we have had on the podcast which was amazing! His experience in the sport as both a player and a coach is invaluable and to listen to Mark speak about his athlete to coach transition is well worth the listen alone. Please make sure you check out his Twitter page (below) because he puts data that he has collected from his players out on a regular basis!
