Dr. Duncan French: Employee #1 at the UFC Performance Institute
“This data is actually making the conversation more complex. I’m gonna move away from it. Well, that’s the the wrong mindset, what you’ve got to do is find the actual mechanisms to make it more efficient so you can pull out the critical pieces of data, which will then drive the conversations.”
Rob Pacey: High performance practitioner turned podcast host
“It’s understanding what these research papers are telling me. How can I implement, should I be implementing that? How does that affect me tomorrow?”
Robin Biagioni: Returning to play against the odds
“they went back and told my Dad and Husband, we managed to save her leg. That’s when we realized this isn’t just a dislocation.” Robin Biagioni
Molly Hurford: Shred girls, identity, and running 100 miles
“In my case, when I was younger, it was like, oh, I’m a bookworm. So therefore I don’t play sports. Or, you know, I’m a dancer so I can’t possibly go outside and be shredding around on a mountain bike. That doesn’t make sense with my current identity as this thing. We get very boxed into these little identities.” Molly Hurford
Sam Blades: Biomechanics, movement technology, and sailing
“As people fatigue they tend to revert back to what’s happened. So, maybe they’re good in front of their physio or their coach, and they want to get back into the field of play, so they bang out 1 decent counter-movement-jump. But what happens when they’re in a stress situation, where they’re worried about getting tackled?” Sam Blades
Alex Hutchinson: Central governor theory, parenting, and the alto sax
“So that when you feel that feeling, that I can’t go any further, that doesn’t mean you can just decide to go further. But you can understand, this isn’t a physiological crisis, I’m not dying, I’m just now in the hard part of the battle with myself.” Alex Hutchinson
Gary McCoy “suddenly” finds himself a guest on his own podcast
“Bilateral asymmetry is the very first one, the second one is anterior/posterior asymmetry. If I offset those two things, and that’s all I did that first year in Taiwan. It was a 75% injury reduction just on those two things alone.” Gary McCoy
Dr. Jeremy Bettle: Performance culture
“the issue with being able to jump 40 inches off the ground is that at some point you have to land and you're landing there with 10 times your body weight, right? So, that's the moment when your system is going to be exposed if there are energy leaks. And so that was the variation with what was each athlete's limiting factor to being optimized.”
Bob Seebohar: Fuelling for endurance
I only ask them 3 questions: what you’re eating? When you’re eating it? Why you’re eating it? and it throws them off, "you don't want to know how much?" I say, "no, no, no, that's coming later. If we don't understand your behaviour first, we can't look at the quantitative.
