Description
S&C in Elite Performance
Join us as we sit down with Yoeri Pegel – S&C performance coach for Ajax football club in Amsterdam as well as working with Olympic athletes & elite combat sports athletes. We talk about everything from training in season & out, how to maximise gains and when to focus more on maintenance. Yoeri discusses his approach to coaching, cueing and being flexible to the audience you’re working with, as well as what “sports specific” training means and the principles he takes in to every session! In addition to that we touch on how he looks at and measures fatigue so you know when to and more importantly, not to push the athletes!
