EP91: Mark Pearce (Fire Service Fitness Advisor/Former Firefighter)

Mark Pearce has spent around twenty years working for Staffordshire Fire Service. The majority of this has been spent working as a firefighter and over the last three years, Mark now leads a training programme to ensure firefighters are physically prepared for their work. In this episode, we examine pressure from the perspective of a firefighter, and we discuss how to prepare to deal with highly important situations as well as navigating any setbacks. Mark outlines how he deals with being 'on call' and knowing that a major incident could come through at any time. The conversation also turns to leadership - how does Mark motivate the firefighters that he works with to stay physically fit? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
