In this weeks Strength Chat, I was joined by an athletic performance specialist with degrees in Sports Nutrition, Sports Science, and Sports Psychology, as well as 20 years’ experience of working with combat athletes, Tony Ricci. With experience in both the academic and practical side of athletic performance, it was great to speak with Tony about how he uses both to get the most out of his athletes. A really knowledgeable guy who you can tell has a real passion for what he does and loves to see his athletes do well. In this episode we covered how to get the most out of a session with limited time to compliment an athlete’s performance, managing an athletes training volume, as well as nutrition best practises in combat sports.
