Description:       

In the 62nd episode of the Historic Performance Podcast, I interview James Baker. James is a Strength & Conditioning Coach + Physical Education teacher at St. Peter's Roman Catholic High School in Gloucester, England.

At St. Peter’s R.C. High School, he has created and integrated a long term athlete development system – the Elite Performance Pathway (EPP) – into the state school Physical Education curriculum.

The EPP is a unique program that has re-defined what can be offered by state secondary schools. Athletes are provided with high quality strength and conditioning, hands-on nutrition lessons, applied psychological preparation workshops, lifestyle and injury management.

In this episode, James talks about the EPP philosophy, performance testing for development stage athletes ranging from 14 to 16 years of age, and annual strength & conditioning planning.
