In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I speak with Michael Watts who is Head of Performance at Aston Villa FC. I recently heard Michael speak in Seattle at the Seattle Sounders conference and was very impressed with is openness and honesty which is why I had to get him on the podcast. Michael and I also have mutual friend in Dean Riddle and if Dean speaks highly of someone, I definitely listen! At the Sounder conference, I think Michael caused a bit of a stir with how it actually is working in the Premier League which I respect massively. No fluff or jazzing up. Michael is a switched on guy and has some other very exciting projects that we discuss in this episode.

In this episode you will learn -

Who is Michael Watts and how did he get to where he is today
Developing your own coaching philosophy
Using GPS
Dealing with and presenting useful data
Off season and pre season training
