Episode 11 - Josh Dragone 20/7/2020

In Episode 11 my guest is fellow South Walian Josh Dragone. Josh has had experience at tier 1 football academies in the UK along with teams in the Welsh Premier League, national skiiing programs and now is helping to develop the next generation of tennis players in South Wales.
We talk about his experiences across a range of sports and the similarities and differences when it comes to coaching athletes in these sports.
Some topics we discuss include the importance of injury prevention, coaching youth athletes, early specialisation and then we focus a little more on tennis and the techniques he uses to get the most out of his athletes.

Josh is developing a game speed model for tennis too so we discuss his ideas for that and how he feels it will help improve the standard of coaching for tennis and how it can also cross over into other sports too.
