SPORT VITAMINS is back with episode 29!

Today we have the huge honor to have David Joyce on the show.

David is the founder and managing director of Synapsing , a global sport strategy and performance consultancy based in Sydney.

He has trained and rehabilitated multiple world and olympic champions and led highly successful teams in elite football rugby and AFL.

David just released the second edition of High Performance Training for Sports (hands down my favorite book on sport performance), a book that changed the landscape of athletic conditioning and sports performance when first published in 2014. Now the second edition builds on that groundbreaking work with the latest and most effective philosophies, protocols, and programs for developing today’s athletes.

Here is the link to this amazing book:
