Derek is the former Sport Science manager of the Canadian Athletics Coaching Centre (CACC), as well as the former Director of the UK Athletic's Centre at Loughborough from 2009-2012.
Derek has been involved in the development of several Canadian Champions and has coached many world class athletes including, Dylan Armstrong (Shot Put), Sophie Hitchon (Hammer Throw), and he is currently coaching Sultana Frizell who won Gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the Hammer Throw.
Derek is also one of the very few coaches to have worked closely with the Legendary Coach Dr. Anatoliy Bondarchuk.
On the episode Derek and I discussed:
- Dereks Background and Influences - The good and bad things that Derek see's with the Human Performance Profession- An extremely detailed discussion about Dr. Bondarchuk's Training System- Derek's top advice and resources to all coaches
Due to this podcast being over 2 hours in length I have split it up into 2 parts.
This was an outstanding episode guys and I hope you all enjoy Part 1.
