Selling a message to a head coach to maximise the impact of S&C with Huw Bevan (Head of Performance and Rugby Operations at Dragons Rugby)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I have the pleasure in speaking to Head of Performance & Rugby Operations at Dragons Rugby, Huw Bevan. This episode is the first one where I have been contacted by a head coach saying 'you need to get our guy on, he's brilliant' and I think that sums up the main takeaways from this podcast. Huw is a person who has created lasting relationships with the coaches he has worked under and due to that has managed to make an impact. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

In this episode, you will learn -

• Who is Huw Bevan (background, experience, and current role)
• Challenges and practices when moving sports
• Selling a message to coaches and players - tactics and techniques
• Building relationships with players and coaches
• Utilising GPS
  • worse case scenario
  • rugby based conditioning
• Interdisciplinary approach to management
