In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Physical Performance, Medicine and Nutrition at the Football Association, Bryce Cavanagh. I am absolutely delighted to get Bryce onto this episode to chat about the inner workings at The FA. This is an in-depth look into how Bryce has structured the performance team to look after numerous age groups and hundreds of the most talented football players in the country. We can a look under the bonnet of what Bryce looks for in a performance coach and how they use generalists with a specialism as a way of providing his players with the best possible care.
In this episode, we discussed...
- The FA performance team structure
- Recruiting the right staff
- Generalists with a specialism
- Staffing structure within the department
- Specialisms within the group
- Who has each specialism?
- Pick, train, play philosophy
Bryce can be found on LinkedIn at Bryce Cavangh.
