Building performance teams, platforms, and assessing team culture with Steve Tashjian (Head of Performance at US Men's National Team)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Performance at US Men's National Team, Steve Tashjian. This is the third time I have had Steve on the podcast and there is a reason for that. Firstly he's a great guy but secondly, he has a really interesting journey and also some great ideas around high performance. For the second time, we spoke about carbohydrate periodisation as its a topic which Steve is very passionate about. His thinking has developed in this area which I am sure you will find really interesting. One of my favourite parts of this chat is at the beginning when we speak about project management which I think will valuable for practitioners of all levels. I hope you enjoy this episode with Steve Tashjian.
