In this episode I am catching up with Alan Swanton who is the Lead Sports Performance Analyst at Sport Ireland Institute. I consider Alan to be a bit of a pioneer when it comes to performance analysis - he was working in that field back before I even knew it was a thing! Over 4 Olympic & Paralympic cycles, Alan has worked with some of Ireland's top athletes and coaches, developing systems to monitor and evaluate performance and optimize training. How has his career evolved? What does he look for in potential placement students? Just how good is Microsoft Excel? We chat about these questions and more in the latest episode of Win Win, available now!
