In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Lead Sports Scientist and Conditioning Coach at Harlequins Rugby, Tom Batchelor. I was lucky enough to meet Tom a few weeks ago when I was hosting a panel discussion at the Kitman Labs Performance Summit. I have known of Tom for a while due to his link with Catapult but it was great to get him on the podcast for a really good chat around his work at Harlequins.

If you enjoyed this episode, maybe you will enjoy these episodes with Nic Gill, Craig Twentyman and Keir Wenham-Flatt.

Hope you enjoy this episode with Tom Batchelor.
