Velocity based training and its impact on programming, profiling and athlete feedback with 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.
