Pacey Performance Podcast #56 - Andrea Hudy (Assistant Athletic Director of Sports Performance at the University of Kansas)

In this episode I speak with Andrea Hudy, Assistant Athletics Director of Sports Performance at the University of Kansas and Author of Power Positions. It was a pleasure to speak with Andrea after reading her book earlier in the year and after speaking with her extensively about it, I would recommend it even more. Both Chris Tombs and Bryan Mann recommended Andrea to me for the podcast and again, when these guys speak, I listen. I must thank Marco Altini (HRV4Training) for providing great content in the technology segment on heart rate variability.
