Building robust netballers and the importance of working closely with the head coach with Bryn Abad (Strength & Power Coach at the Brisbane Lions)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking with Strength & Power Coach at the Brisbane Lions, Bryn Abad. Bryn comes with a wealth of experience in rugby union, netball, and more recently AFL. I must thank Stu Mitchell for introducing me to Bryn and spreading the good word on the podcast.

In this episode you will learn -

• Who is Bryn Abad (background, experience & current role)
• The importance of working closely with the head coach
• Physical capacity building & identifying athlete requirements
• Planning a successful season - How was this done in netball?
• The importance of the first few weeks to set up a successful season
• The psychology of working with female athletes compared to male - different emphasis when it comes to physical characteristics?
