Description:    

In the 16th episode of the Historic Performance Podcast, I interview Keir-Wenham Flatt.  Keir is the Strength & Conditioning coach for Union Argentina de Rugby, which recently took 4th place in the Rugby World Cup.

After a great episode with Aiden Oakley, I decided to go back to rugby for this episode by interviewing a really well-known rugby S&C coach in Keir, who is the founder of the Rugby Strength Coach website.

In this episode, Keir talks about the differences in training for rugby league vs. rugby union, energy system development for rugby players, and his thoughts regarding using the Olympic lifts in rugby.
