Episode notes

Dr. Duncan French is a hugely impressive figure in the applied sport science/performance support industry.

With a strength and conditioning background, Duncan currently heads the hugely impressive UFC Sport Performance Institute.

Duncan talks through how support staff can act as 'humble servants' to athletes and coaches in the pursuit of their goals. With athletes at the center of everything he does, his experience in college sport (University of Notre Dame), Olympic sport (English Institute of Sport) and professional sport (Newcastle Football Club) all add to his approach and philosophy of athlete engagement throughout the iterative and evolving sports science process
