Description:    

In the 26th episode of the Historic Performance Podcast, I interview Rich Hesketh.  Rich was the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Calgary Flames from 1995 - 2014.  Currently, he is the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Men and Women's Basketball teams at the University of Calgary.

I was introduced to Rich by Nathan Bullock, who was previously on the podcast.  Nathan is a great guy, who is well regarded in S&C, so I knew that it would be a good idea to follow-up on his recommendation.
